"But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering." — 1 Corinthians 11:15 (ASV)

But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her.—We should follow the suggestions of Nature. If a woman has naturally long hair, which is given to her as a covering for her head, the covering of her head can be no shame to her; therefore let her wear a veil. “The will ought to correspond to Nature.”
