13 Judge in yourselves: is it honest that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man lets his hair grow, it is dishonest?
15 But if a woman lets her hair grow, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given her for a covering.
16 With all this, if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of God.
17 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not: that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
18 For first of all, when ye come together in the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
19 For it is expedient that there also be heresies among you, so that those who are proved may become manifest among you.
