let married women be submissive to their husbands, out of regard to the Lord. for the husband presides over his wife, as Christ presides over the church: and he it is that preserves the whole body.
now I commend you, brethren, for remembring all my orders, and for keeping the rules I delivered to you. but I would have you take notice, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the wife, is the man; and the head of Christ, is God. every man who prays or prophesies having his head covered, dishonoureth him who is his head: but every woman who prays read more.
or prophesies with her head uncovered, dishonoureth the man who is her head: for it is the same thing as if her head was shav'd. a woman may as well have the tonsure, as not wear her veil: the one is as indecent as the other. A man ought not to be veil'd: he has the honour of being invested with authority from God, and may glory in his priority to the woman. for the man was not taken from the woman: but the woman from the man. nor was the man copied from the woman: but the woman from the man. therefore the woman ought to be veil'd, out of regard to the angels. however, the man and the woman are equal with respect to the Lord. for as the woman was taken from the man, so man is born of the woman: and all are from God.

Let the women with submissive silence attend to instruction. for I don't allow a woman to be a teacher, nor to dictate to her husband; but let her be silent. for Adam was the first that was form'd, then Eve. read more.

Let your women be silent in your assemblies: for they are not allowed to discourse there; but are to observe orders, as indeed the law implies: and if they desire to have information about any point, let them consult their husbands at home: for it does not become women to ask questions in the church.
