⁵ `The habiliments of a man are not on a woman, nor doth a man put on the garment of a woman, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God `is' any one doing these.

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;

¹¹ but neither `is' a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,

¹² for as the woman `is' of the man, so also the man `is' through the woman, and the all things `are' of God.

¹³ In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?

¹⁴ doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?

¹⁵ and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;

¹² `For the abomination of Jehovah `is' every one doing these, and because of these abominations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing them from thy presence.
