2 I am proud of you, because you always remember me and obey the teachings I gave you.
3 Now I want you to know that Christ is the head over all men, and a man is the head over a woman. But God is the head over Christ.
4 This means that any man who prays or prophesies with something on his head brings shame to his head.
5 But any woman who prays or prophesies without something on her head brings shame to her head. In fact, she may as well shave her head.
6 A woman should wear something on her head. It is a disgrace for a woman to shave her head or cut her hair. But if she refuses to wear something on her head, let her cut off her hair.
7 Men were created to be like God and to bring honour to God. This means that a man should not wear anything on his head. Women were created to bring honour to men.
8 It was the woman who was made from a man, and not the man who was made from a woman.
