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

For{G1063} a man{G435} indeed{G3303} ought{G3784}{(G5719)} not{G3756} to cover{G2619}{(G5745)} his head{G2776}, forasmuch as he is{G5225}{(G5723)} the image{G1504} and{G2532} glory{G1391} of God{G2316}: but{G1161} the woman{G1135} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the glory{G1391} of the man{G435}.

Strong's King James

(7) For surely a man shouldn't have his head covered, possessing the image and glory of יהוה YAHWEH but the woman is the glory of man.

The F.O.G

[7] A man shouldn't cover his head because he reflects יהוה's glory and authority directly. But a woman radiates man's glory in a unique way—not lesser, but beautifully different in purpose.

The F.O.G Paraphrase

for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,
