Men » Men being the head of women
You married women must subordinate yourselves to your husbands, as you do to the Lord, for a husband is the head of his wife, just as Christ is the head of the church, which is his body, and is saved by him.
I appreciate your always remembering me, and your standing by the things I passed on to you, just as you received them. But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, while a woman's head is her husband, and Christ's head is God. Any man who offers prayer or explains the will of God with anything on his head disgraces his head, read more.
and any woman who offers prayer or explains the will of God bareheaded disgraces her head, for it is just as though she had her head shaved. For if a woman will not wear a veil, let her cut off her hair too. But if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her wear a veil. For a man ought not to wear anything on his head, for he is the image of God and reflects his glory; while woman is the reflection of man's glory. For man was not made from woman, but woman from man, and man was not created for woman, but woman was for man. That is why she ought to wear upon her head something to symbolize her subjection, out of respect to the angels, if to nobody else. But in union with the Lord, woman is not independent of man nor man of woman. For just as woman was made from man, man is born of woman, and both like everything else really come from God. Judge for yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to offer prayer to God with nothing on her head? Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear his hair long is degrading, but a woman's long hair is her pride? For her hair is given her as a covering. But if anyone is disposed to be contentious about it, I for my part recognize no other practice in worship than this, and neither do the churches of God.
