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.
9 He wasn't created for her. She was created for him.
10 And so, because of this, and also because of the angels, a woman ought to wear something on her head, as a sign of her authority.
11 As far as the Lord is concerned, men and women need each other.
12 It is true that the first woman came from a man, but all other men have been given birth by women. Yet God is the one who created everything.
