1 Corinthians 11:13 Context
11Neuerthelesse, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord. 12For as the woman is of the man: euen so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. 13Iudge in your selues, is it comely that a woman pray vnto God vncouered? 14Doeth not euen nature it selfe teach you, that if a man haue long haire, it is a shame vnto him? 15But if a woman haue long haire, it is a glory to her: for her haire is giuen her for a couering.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Corinthians 11:13
11:13 Judge of yourselves - For what need of more arguments if so plain a case? Is it decent for a woman to pray to God - The Most High, with that bold and undaunted air which she must have, when, contrary to universal custom, she appears in public with her head uncovered?
People's Bible Notes for 1 Corinthians 11:13
1Co 11:13 Is it comely that a woman should pray unto God uncovered? That is, in the public assembly. Private prayer, or with her own sex or household, is not meant. It was very unbecoming in view of the customs of the East, nor would it generally be esteemed decorous in our times, and with our ideas, that she should appear with no covering on her head at all.
