4
Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,
5
but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head--it is the same as if her head were shaven.
6
For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil.
7
For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
8
(For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.
9
Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.)
10
That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels.
