Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Corinthians 11:13

"Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled?" — 1 Corinthians 11:13 (ASV)

Judge in yourselves.—In this and the two following verses the Apostle reasons with them—appeals to their own common sense, and to the indications of Nature, as to the evident truth of what he has taught them on this question. Surely you would not think it proper for a woman (setting aside the question of men and angels altogether) to speak face to face with God in prayer?
