1. Followers of me become ye, as I also [am] of Christ.
2. And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,
3. and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.
4. Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head,
5. and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,
6. for if a woman is not covered--then let her be shorn, and if [it is] a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven--let her be covered;
7. for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,
8. for a man is not of a woman, but a woman [is] of a man,
9. for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;
10. because of this the woman ought to have [a token of] authority upon the head, because of the messengers;
