Now concerning the things of which you wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

And the woman who has a husband that believes not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

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.

But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is one and the same as if she were shaven.

For if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

For this cause ought the woman to have authority on her head because of the angels.

Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God.

Judge for yourselves: is it proper that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

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

Else when you shall bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupies the place of the unlearned say Amen at your giving of thanks, seeing he understands not what you said?

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be submissive, as also says the law.

And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is shameful for women to speak in the church.

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
