"The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither
shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are
abomination unto the LORD thy God." |
"In like manner also for the women to adorn themselves in modest
dress, with regard for others and sober-mindedness, not with plaitings,
or gold, or pearls, or expensive apparel, but what becometh women
professing reverence of God, by means of good works." |
"Judge in yourselves: Is it becoming for a woman to be praying to
God uncovered? Or doth not nature herself teach you that on the one
hand if a man should have long hair, it is a dishonor to him, but on
the other hand if a woman should have long hair, it is to her glory?
For the long hair hath been given to her for a covering." |
