* Now I praise you , brethren ; because , in all things you remember me , and hold fast the traditions as I delivered them to you . * But I would have you know , that the head of every man is Christ ; and the head of the woman is the man ; and the head of Christ is God . * Every man who prays , or prophesies , having his head covered , dishonors his head . * And every woman who prays , or prophesies , with her head uncovered , dishonors her head . Besides , it is one and the same , with being shaved . * Wherefore , if a woman be not veiled , even let her be shorn : but , if it be shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved , let her be veiled . * Now , man , indeed , ought not to cover the head , being the image and glory of God , but woman is the glory of man . * Besides the man is not of the woman ; but the woman is of the man . * And , also , the man was not created for the woman , but the woman for the man . * For this reason , ought the woman to have a vail on her head , on account of the messengers . * However , neither is the man , without the woman , nor the woman without the man , in the Lord . * Besides , as the woman is from the man , so also , the man is by the woman ; but all from God . * Judge in yourselves , is it decent that a woman pray to God unveiled ? * Does not even nature itself teach you that if , indeed , a man have long hair , it is a disgrace to him ? * But if a woman have long hair , it is a glory to her : for her hair is given to her for a vail . * However , if any one resolve to be contentious , we have no such custom ; neither the congregations of God .
