  shorn or shaved, let her be covered. 7 For a man
  indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is
  the image and glory of God but woman is the

  is man independent of woman, nor woman
  independent of man, in the Lord.

  woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14
  Does not even nature itself teach you that if a
  man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? 15
  But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to
  her for her hair is given to her for a covering.
