1 Corinthians 11:15

← 1 Corinthians 11:14	1 Corinthians 11:15 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 11:16 →
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?	But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering.	But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
