For as the woman originates from the man, so also man is born through the woman; and all things [whether male or female] originate from God [as their Creator].
Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to offer prayer to God [publicly] with her head uncovered?
but if a woman has long hair, it is her ornament and glory? For her long hair is given to her as a covering.
If there is anything they want to learn [that is, if they have questions about anything being said or taught], they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to talk in church.
