Head Coverings

Now (A)I praise you because you (B)remember me in everything and (C)hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you. But I want you to understand that [a]Christ is the (D)head of every man, and (E)the man is the head of a woman, and God is the (F)head of [b]Christ. Every man who has something on his head while praying or (G)prophesying, shames his head. But every (H)woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying, shames her head, for she is one and the same as the woman [c]whose head is (I)shaved. For if a woman does not cover [d]her head, let her also [e]have her hair cut short. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to [f]have her hair cut short or [g]her head shaved, let her cover [h]her head. For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the (J)image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of man. For (K)man [i]does not originate from woman, but woman from man. For indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but (L)woman for the man’s sake. 10 Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

Head Coverings

Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you. But I want you to know that (A)the head of every man is Christ, (B)the head of woman is man, and (C)the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or (D)prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were (E)shaved. For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is (F)shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since (G)he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. For man is not from woman, but woman (H)from man. Nor was man created for the woman, but woman (I)for the man. 10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
