1Cor 11:5-6 | ESV | STEP | but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head , since it is the same as if her head were shaven .

1 Corinthians 11:5-6

5 but every wife ^{▼▼In verses 5–13, the Greek word gunē is translated wife in verses that deal with wearing a veil, a sign of being married in first-century culture} who prays or ^bprophesies ^cwith her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same ^das if her head were shaven. 6 For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head.
