Commentary on 1 Corinthians 11:6

Theological / Devotional

Let her also be shorn. This is hardly a positive command. The meaning seems to be, “she might as well be shorn.” In other words, if a woman wanted to act like a man, she ought, in order to be consistent, to cut her hair after the fashion of men. But such a course would be regarded as disgraceful. Therefore she should be properly veiled.
