1 Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Messiah.
2 Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firm the traditions just as I passed them on to you.
3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Messiah, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Messiah is God.
4 Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered dishonors his head.
5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For it is one and the same as having been shaved.
6 For if a woman does not cover her head, let her cut off her hair. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her cover her head.
7 For surely a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of man.
