1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
2 I praise you because you remember me in everything, and you follow closely the teachings just as I gave them to you.
3 But I want you to understand this: The head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered brings shame to his head.
5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered brings shame to her head. She is the same as a woman who has her head shaved.
6 If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. But since it is shameful for a woman to cut off her hair or to shave her head, she should cover her head.
