5. And every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered brings shame to her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.
6. For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
7. For a man indeed should not cover his head, since he is the likeness and esteem of Elohim, but woman is the esteem of man.
8. For man is not from woman, but woman from man.
9. For man also was not created for the woman, but woman for the man.
10. Because of this the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the messengers.
11. However, man is not independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Master.
12. For as the woman was from the man, even so the man also is through the woman. But all are from Elohim.
13. Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to Elohim with her head uncovered?
14. Does not nature itself teach you that if a man indeed has long hair, it is a disrespect to him?
15. And if a woman has long hair, it is an esteem to her, because the long hair has been given to her over against a veil.
16. If, however, anyone seems to be contentious, we do not have such a habit, nor do the assemblies of Elohim.
