In context

⁷A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

⁸For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.

⁹Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

¹⁰For this reason a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

¹¹In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
