1 Corinthians 11:13-19
English Standard Version
Chapter 11
13Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him, 15but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do the churches of God.
17But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.
18For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part,
19for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.
