Context of 1 Corinthians 11:12
10Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels. 11However, neither [is] woman without man, nor man without woman, in [the] Lord. For as the woman [is] of the man, so also [is] the man by the woman, but all things of God. 13Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered? 14Does not even nature itself teach you, that man, if he have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?
