In Context

14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,

16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice-- nor do the churches of God.

17 In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.

18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.

19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval.
