1. Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.
2. I praise you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions just as I passed them on to you.
3. But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.
4. Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered disgraces his head.
5. But any woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disgraces her head, for it is one and the same thing as having a shaved head.
6. For if a woman will not cover her head, she should cut off her hair. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should cover her head.
7. For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.
8. For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.
9. Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for man.
10. For this reason a woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
