Note 12 at 1Co 11:14: Paul was saying, "Isn't it normal, or natural, for the man to have short hair and the woman to have long hair?" The answer to this is yes, but care must be exercised when administering this. The length of men's hair in New Testament times was longer than what some people claim to be natural today (see note 14 at 1Co 11:16). We need to be careful that Jesus and the disciples would not be considered "hippies" by what we call normal.
