Note 4 at 1 Cor. 11:5: Although Paul is not specifically teaching on women prophesying, he does mention that it happened in the churches. This is helpful in interpreting other passages of scriptures that Paul wrote about women in the church (1 Tim. 2:11-12).

Note 5 at 1 Cor. 11:5: Paul is saying that in the customs of his day, if a woman prayed or prophesied without her head covered, then that is just the same as if all her hair was shaved off her head (see ref. p at v. 6). In other words, it would be a disgrace.
