1 Imitate herein my example as I do that of Christ. 2 now I commend you, brethren, for remembring all my orders, and for keeping the rules I delivered to you. 3 but I would have you take notice, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the wife, is the man; and the head of Christ, is God. 4 every man who prays or prophesies having his head covered, dishonoureth him who is his head: but every woman who prays 5 or prophesies with her head uncovered, dishonoureth the man who is her head: for it is the same thing as if her head was shav'd. 6 a woman may as well have the tonsure, as not wear her veil: the one is as indecent as the other. 7 A man ought not to be veil'd: he has the honour of being invested with authority from God, and may glory in his priority to the woman. 8 for the man was not taken from the woman: but the woman from the man. 9 nor was the man copied from the woman: but the woman from the man. 1 Corinthians 11:1-9, Mace New Testament.
