1 Corinthians 11:14-16
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
14 Does not even nature[a] itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him— 15 but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? Because[b] the long hair has been given to her for[c] a covering[d]. 16 But if anyone seems[e] to be contentious, we do not have such a custom[f], nor do the churches of God.
