For her long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 Now if anyone is inclined to be contentious [about this], we have no other practice [in worship than this], nor do the churches of God [in general]. 17 But in giving this next instruction, I do not praise you, because when you meet together it is not for the better but for the worse.
