But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if her head were shaved. For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn; but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

For as the woman is from the man, so also is the man by the woman; but all things from God. Judge in your own selves; is it comely that a woman pray to God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is a shame to him, but that if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her? for her hair is given for a covering. But if any one seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the churches of God.

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man? And the angel answering said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee; wherefore the holy one that is to be born will be called the Son of God.

And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord, and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour; for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name; and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him. He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart. He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree. The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty. He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy toward Abraham and his offspring for ever, as he spoke to our fathers.

Now she that is a widow indeed, and left alone, hath set her hope on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day; but she that giveth herself up to pleasure is dead while she liveth. These things also enjoin, that they may be blameless. But if any one provideth not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. Let a widow be put on the list when not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one husband, well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

And Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father! I thank thee that thou hast heard me. Yet I knew that thou hearest me always; but for the sake of the multitude standing around I said it, that they might believe that thou didst send me. And having thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth! He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go.

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

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man; for the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man; and the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.read more.
