1 Coríntios 11:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 11:14

Doth not even nature itself teach you
By nature is either meant, the law and light of nature, reason in man, common sense, or rather custom, which is second nature; and which, in this case, must be restrained to the Greeks and Jews; for though among the Grecians the men cut their hair, and did not suffer it to grow long, as also did the Jews, yet there were many nations F11 who did not, even at that time, observe such a rule or custom; but as the Jews and Greeks were the persons chiefly, if not solely, known to the Corinthians, the apostle signifies, that the usages of these people might direct and inform them in this matter:

that if a man have long hair it is a shame unto him;
he looks unmanly and womanish, and exposes himself to ridicule and contempt.

1 Coríntios 11:14 In-Context

12 pois, assim como a mulher veio do homem, assim tamb茅m o homem nasce da mulher, mas tudo vem de Deus.
13 julgai entre v贸s mesmos: 茅 conveniente que uma mulher com a cabe莽a descoberta ore a Deus?
14 N茫o vos ensina a pr贸pria natureza que se o homem tiver cabelo comprido, 茅 para ele uma desonra;
15 mas se a mulher tiver o cabelo comprido, 茅 para ela uma gl贸ria? Pois a cabeleira lhe foi dada em lugar de v茅u.
16 Mas, se algu茅m quiser ser contencioso, n贸s n茫o temos tal costume, nem tampouco as igrejas de Deus.
