10 That's why a woman should have her head covered. It shows that she is under authority. She should also cover her head because of the angels.
11 But here is how things are for those who belong to the Lord. The woman is not independent of the man. And the man is not independent of the woman.
12 The woman came from the man, and the man is born from the woman. But everything comes from God.
13 You be the judge. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God without covering her head?
14 Suppose a man has long hair. Doesn't the very nature of things teach you that it is shameful?
15 And suppose a woman has long hair. Doesn't the very nature of things teach you that it is her glory? Long hair is given to her as a covering.
16 If anyone wants to argue about that, we don't have any other practice. And God's churches don't either.
