But I would have you know that Christ is the head of every man; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

For if a woman be not covered, she may as well be shorn: but if it be shameful to a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, he being the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man was not of the woman; but the woman was taken out of the man: nor was the man created for the sake of the woman, but the woman for the man. For this reason ought the woman to have power on her head, because of the angels. Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord. For as the woman was originally from the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things are from God.

and are therefore to be condemned, because they violate their first faith. And withal being idle they learn to go about from house to house: and are not only idle, but tatlers also and busy-bodies, talking of things unbecoming them. I would therefore have the younger widows marry, bear children, manage houshold affairs, and give no occasion to the adversary for reproach.

the aged women likewise in behaviour as becometh saints, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good; that they may instruct the young women to be temperate, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be prudent, chaste, keepers at home, good, submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.
