Question: Complete the following verse of Paul by filling the blank with one word: "If a woman have long hair, it is a _____ to her." ?
Answer: Glory. (I Corinthians 11:15)
Comments: In I Corinthians 11, Paul instructs the Corinthian church about head covering. It appears this was a divisive issue for the Corinthians. Paul asserts that women should keep their heads covered (11:6) in addition to having long hair (11:15). The passage also speaks to men's issues with the thrust of the chapter discussing decorum.
but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering. (I Corinthians 11:15, NASB)
I supposed by this rationale, country singer Crystal Gayle (pictured) is especially glorious.
