Any man who prays or prophesies with a veil on his head dishonours his head,

while any woman who prays or prophesies without a veil on her head dishonours her head; she is no better than a shaven woman.

If a woman will not veil herself, she should cut off her hair as well. But she ought to veil herself; for it is disgraceful that a woman should have her hair cut off or be shaven.

Man does not require to have a veil on his head, for he represents the likeness and supremacy of God; but woman represents the supremacy of man.
