13 Juzgad vosotros mismos: ¿es honesto la mujer orar a Dios no cubierta

1 Corintios 11:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 11:13

Judge in yourselves
The apostle having gone through a variety of reasoning and arguments, showing the superiority of the man to the woman, by which he would prove, that the one should be covered, and the other uncovered, returns to his subject again, and appeals to the common sense and understanding of the Corinthians, and makes them themselves judges of the matter; suggesting that the thing was so clear, and he so certain of what he had advanced being right, that he leaves it with them, not doubting but that they would, upon a little reflection within themselves, join with him in this point:

is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
in you judgment you can never think so, however pleasing and gratifying such a sight may be, to the lust of the flesh, and to the lust of the eye; he does not mention prophesying, only instances in praying; but it is to be understood of one, as of another; and his meaning is, that it is an uncomely thing in a woman to appear in public service with her head uncovered, whether it be in joining in the public prayers, or in singing of psalms, or in hearing the word expounded; and though the apostle does not put the case of the man's praying to God, or prophesying in his name with his head covered, yet his sense is the same of that, as of the woman's.

1 Corintios 11:13 In-Context

11 Mas ni el varón es sin la mujer, ni la mujer sin el varón, en el Señor

12 Porque como la mujer salió del varón, así también el varón nace por la mujer; todo, sin embargo, sale de Dios

13 Juzgad vosotros mismos: ¿es honesto la mujer orar a Dios no cubierta

14 La misma naturaleza ¿no os enseña que al hombre sea deshonesto criar cabello

15 Por el contrario, a la mujer criar el cabello le es honroso; porque por cubierta le es dado el cabello
