1 Corinthians 11:10

Verse 10 of 34. The 11th of 16 chapters in 1 Corinthians, in The Letters of Paul.

6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

13Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
