For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
8
For man is not from woman, but woman from man.
9
Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.
10
For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
11
Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord.
12
For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.
13
Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
14
Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
15
But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.
16
But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.

Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse.
