'Woman' in the Bible

Because sexual immorality is so rampant, every man should have his own wife, and every woman should have her own husband.

And if a woman has a husband who is an unbeliever and he is willing to live with her, she must not abandon him.

An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the affairs of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, that is, about how she can please her husband. I'm saying this for your benefit, not to put a noose around your necks, but to promote good order and unhindered devotion to the Lord.

Now I want you to realize that the Messiah is the head of every man, and man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of the Messiah.

and every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, which is the same as having her head shaved.

So if a woman does not cover her head, she should cut off her hair. If it is a disgrace for a woman to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her own head.

A man should not cover his head, because he exists as God's image and glory. But the woman is man's glory.

For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;

and man was not created for woman, but woman for man.

This is why a woman should have authority over her own head: because of the angels.

In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man of woman.

For as woman came from man, so man comes through woman. But everything comes from God.

Decide for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

If they want to learn anything, they should ask their own husbands at home, for it is inappropriate for a woman to speak out in church.
