Verse 14
Does not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

As Johnson observed, "The fact of short hair for men and long hair for women is a divine suggestion in nature itself." F29 It is quite evident throughout this whole paragraph that Paul is talking about "hair," not clothes! If such is not the case, such a verse as this is totally out of place. The judgment of history as well as the New Testament confirms Paul's words here are true. People may deny it if they please; but the sacred text and the usage of centuries are against any such denial.

NASB 14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, 15 but if a woman has long hair

 

1 Corinthians 11:1-16 - [Verse 14 in Original Greek]

1 Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ. 2 Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you. 3 But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. 4 Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head. 5 But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved . 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head. 7 For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. 8 For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man; 9 for indeed man was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake. 10 Therefore * the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11 However, in the Lord, neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12 For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate from God. 13 Judge for yourselves *: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered ? 14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, 15 but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16 But if one is inclined to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor have the churches of God.

1. What did Jesus look like?

Traditional View: Man with flowing light-brown hair, fair skin, and a neat beard
In the Gospels, there is no mention of what Jesus looked like. Jesus' appearance in images through the centuries has varied according to different artistic and historical traditions and the artists' conceptions. In 20th-century
America, the image most commonly associated with Jesus has been Walter Sallman's 1940 painting "Head of Christ," above.

Non-Traditional View: Short, slight, shaggily bearded man with dark hair, skin, and eyes
There are no contemporary physical descriptions of Jesus, but scholars think he probably looked like a typical first-century Galilean peasant or craftsman: dark hair, skin, and eyes; short; slight; and shaggily bearded.
