But any woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disgraces her head, for it is one and the same thing as having a shaved head.

For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

the women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak. Rather, let them be in submission, as in fact the law says.

If they want to find out about something, they should ask their husbands at home, because it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.

A wife is bound as long as her husband is living. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes (only someone in the Lord).

But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.
