^{4 Ref} Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

^{5 Ref} But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.

^{6 Ref} For if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off; but if it is a shame to a woman to have her hair cut off, let her be veiled.

^{7 Ref} For it is not right for a man to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

^{8 Ref} For the man did not come from the woman, but the woman from the man.

^{9 Ref} And the man was not made for the woman, but the woman for the man.

^{10 Ref} For this reason it is right for the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

^{11 Ref} But the woman is not separate from the man, and the man is not separate from the woman in the Lord.

^{12 Ref} For as the woman is from the man, so the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.

^{13 Ref} Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?

^{14 Ref} Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?

¹⁵ But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given to her for a covering.
