4Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, 5but every wife3 who prays or gprophesies hwith her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same ias if her head were shaven. 6For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head. 7For a man ought not to cover his head, since jhe is the image and glory of God, but kwoman is the glory of man. 8For lman was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9Neither was man created for woman, but mwoman for man. 10That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.4 11Nevertheless, nin the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And oall things are from God. 13Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him, 15but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16pIf anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do qthe churches of God.
