011:002 Now I commend you for remembering me in everything,
and because you hold fast truths and practices precisely as I
have taught them to you.
011:003 I would have you know, however, that of every man,
Christ is the Head, that of a woman her husband is the Head,
and that God is Christ's Head.
011:004 A man who wears a veil when praying or prophesying dishonors his Head;
011:005 but a woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered
dishonors her Head, for it is exactly the same as if she

011:013 Judge of this for your own selves: is it seemly for a woman
to pray to God when she is unveiled?
011:014 Does not Nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair
it is a dishonor to him,
011:015 but that if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because her
