so that no one can say you were baptized in my name.

None of the rulers of this age knew this wisdom, for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

And I say this, brothers: The time is limited, so from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none,

But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ.

Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head dishonors his head.

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

So if a woman’s head is not covered, her hair should be cut off. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should be covered.

A man, in fact, should not cover his head, because he is God’s image and glory, but woman is man’s glory.

This is why a woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

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

So the eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” Or again, the head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”
