But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is one and the same as if she were shaven.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 11:5 Go To 1 Corinthians 11
Clement Of Alexandria
AD 215
And she will never fall, who puts before her eyes modesty, and her shawl; nor will she invite another to fall into sin by uncovering her face. For this is the wish of the Word, since it is becoming for her to pray veiled.
