1 Corinthians 13-15

1 Corinthians 13-15

13Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, 15but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

- This verse I don’t quite understand, yet. Samson had long hair, how does this apply here? What about the Nazarite vow which was both for women and men and involved shaving the hair and then growing it out long? Why is the subject of covering not discussed elsewhere, of course it was probably mostly just understood throughout history, so there may have been no need? These questions are not enough to negate this in themselves, we should honestly look at whether or not a woman should wear a covering, and a thorough study of this needs to be done.
