5 And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered brings shame on her head. It is just as if her head were shaved.
6 What if a woman does not cover her head? She should have her hair cut off. But it is shameful for her to cut her hair or shave it off. So she should cover her head.
7 A man should not cover his head. He is the likeness and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.
8 The man did not come from the woman. The woman came from the man.
9 Also, the man was not created for the woman. The woman was created for the man.
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.
