Ifthey desireto learnanything,let them asktheir ownhusbandsat home;for it is improperfor a womanto speakin church.
Does not evennatureitselfteachyou that ifa manhas long hair,it is a dishonorto him,
For ifa womandoes not coverher head, let her alsohave her haircut off;but ifit is disgracefulfor a womanto have her hair cut offorher head shaved,let her coverher head.
The womenare to keep silentin the churches;for they are not permittedto speak,but are to subjectthemselves, justas the Lawalsosays.
Was it from you that the wordof God[first] went forth?Orhas it cometo you only?
for it is disgracefulevento speakof the things which are doneby them in secret.
You husbandsin the same way,livewith [your wives] in an understanding way,as with someoneweaker,since she is a woman;and showher honoras a fellow heirof the graceof life,sothat your prayerswill not be hindered.
