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

But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for it is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.

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 man.

For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man;

for indeed man was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake.

but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her as a covering.

But if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor have the churches of God.

Now in giving this next instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better, but for the worse.

But a person must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged.

But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons.

But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

For the body is not one part, but many.

But now God has arranged the parts, each one of them in the body, just as He desired.

But now there are many parts, but one body.

whereas our more presentable parts have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked,

so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same care for one another.
