1Cor 11:6 | MHM | STEP | v. 6 : He adds, “If a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off” (1 Corinthians 11:6 ). For a woman of that time, having her hair cut short was shameful. So, Paul says, if women do not want to cover their heads, they are acting as if they are rejecting their role. Covering the head showed respect and acceptance of God’s order.
