1 Imitatea me, just as I also imitate Christ.
Head Coverings
2 Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.
3 But I want you to know that athe head of every man is Christ, bthe head of woman is man, and the chead of Christ is God.
4 Every man praying or aprophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were ashaved.
6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is ashameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since ahe is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
8 For man is not from woman, but woman afrom man.
9 Nor was man created for the woman, but woman afor the man.
10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless, aneither 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 given1 to her for a covering.
16 But aif anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, bnor do the churches of God.
Conduct at the Lord’s Supper
17 Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse.
