³ But I want you to understand that ^(A)the head of every man is Christ, ^(B)the head of a wife^[a] is her husband,^[b] and ^(C)the head of Christ is God.

⁷ For a man ought not to cover his head, since ^(A)he is the image and glory of God, but ^(B)woman is the glory of man. ⁸ For ^(C)man was not made from woman, but woman from man. ⁹ Neither was man created for woman, but ^(D)woman for man. ¹⁰ That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.^{[a] 11} Nevertheless, ^(E)in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; ¹² for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And ^(F)all things are from God.
