Years back, Prof. John Murray’s letter to a friend on the question of ladies wearing head-coverings in public worship was very helpful to me. In particular, he helped me see that 1 Corinthians 11:6 in particular will make no sense at all on the thesis that Paul wanted women simply to wear long hair in church. But if the long-hair “covering” of v. 15 is all that Paul meant for women being “covered” in vv. 5-6, then what does verse 6 even mean?
To help make this as clear as possible for others, I decided to make a little chart here below. Also feel free to read a transcript of a sermon I gave on the subject here.
