6. For if the woman is not covered, let her also cut off her hair. But if it is a shame for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved, let her be covered.
7. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.
8. The man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man.
9. The man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.
10. For this reason the woman ought to have a veil of authority over her head, because of the angels.
11. Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man in the Lord.
12. For just as the woman came from the man, so the man comes through the woman, but all things come from God.
13. Judge for yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

15. But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given her for a covering.
16. But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor have the churches of God.
