1 Corinthians 11:15 in Context — 1 Corinthians 11

13 Jugez-en vous-mêmes: est-il convenable qu’une femme prie Dieu sans être voilée?

14 La nature elle-même ne vous enseigne-t-elle pas que c’est une honte pour l’homme de porter de longs cheveux,

15 mais que c’est une gloire pour la femme d’en porter, parce que la chevelure lui a été donnée comme voile?

16 Si quelqu’un se plaît à contester, nous n’avons pas cette habitude, non plus que les Églises de Dieu.

17 En donnant cet avertissement, ce que je ne loue point, c’est que vous vous assemblez, non pour devenir meilleurs, mais pour devenir pires.
