1. Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Messiah.
2. Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
3. But I would have you know that the head of every man is Messiah, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Messiah is God.
4. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonours his head.
5. But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonours her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.
6. For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered.
