For man is not of woman, but woman of man; for man also was not created because of the woman, but woman because of the man. For this reason ought the woman to have a power [veil] on her head because of the angels. But neither is woman without man, nor man without woman in the Lord; for as the woman is of the man, so also the man is through the woman, but all things are from God. Judge of yourselves; is it becoming that a woman should pray to God unveiled? Does not nature herself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace to him? but if a woman wears long hair it is her glory; for the hair is given her for a covering.
