Headship and Distinctions in Worship

3

But I wil that ye know, that Christ is the head of euery man: and the man is the womans head: and God is Christs head.

4

Euery man praying or prophecying hauing any thing on his head, dishonoureth his head.

5

But euery woman that prayeth or prophecieth bare headed, dishonoureth her head: for it is euen one very thing, as though she were shauen.

6

Therefore if the woman be not couered, let her also be shorne: and if it be shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her be couered.

7

For a man ought not to couer his head: for as much as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

8

For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.

9

For the man was not created for the womans sake: but the woman for the mans sake.

10

Therefore ought the woman to haue power on her head, because of the Angels.

11

Neuertheles, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord.

12

For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman: but all things are of God.

13

Iudge in your selues, Is it comely that a woman pray vnto God vncouered?

14

Doeth not nature it selfe teach you, that if a man haue long heare, it is a shame vnto him?

15

But if a woman haue long heare, it is a prayse vnto her: for her heare is giuen her for a couering.

16

But if any man lust to be contentious, we haue no such custome, neither the Churches of God.
