1 Corinthians 11:15 in Context — 1 Corinthians 11

13 Juzgad vosotros mismos: ¿es honesto orar la mujer á Dios no cubierta?

14 La misma naturaleza ¿no os enseña que al hombre sea deshonesto criar cabello?

15 Por el contrario, á la mujer criar el cabello le es honroso; porque en lugar de velo le es dado el cabello.

16 Con todo eso, si alguno parece ser contencioso, nosotros no tenemos tal costumbre, ni las iglesias de Dios.

17 Esto empero os denuncio, que no alabo, que no por mejor sino por peor os juntáis.
