1 Corinthians 11:13-16

Honor, Worship Order, and the Lord’s Supper Under the Lordship of Christ

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

13Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14Doesn’t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,

15but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.

16If anyone is inclined to dispute this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.
