Lecture 3 — The woman is for the man

(For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.

Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.)

That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels.

(Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman;

for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.)

Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him,

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

If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God.
