13 Judge for yourselves—is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
14 Doesn’t the natural order of things teach you—if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace for him;
15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory, for her hair was given to her as a covering.
16 But if anyone intends to be contentious, we have no such custom—nor do God’s communities.
17 But in giving you this instruction I do not praise you, for when you meet together it does more harm than good.
18 For first of all, when you come together as Messiah’s community, I hear that there are divisions among you; and to some extent I believe it—
19 for there must be factions among you, so that those among you who are tried and true may be evident.
