I see what you mean about the "what ifs." I guess I was wondering, if there was not already an expected custom in Corinth that respectable women wore veils—that some Christian women apparently were not upholding—would Paul have ever brought up the topic. In other words, is veiling inherent to Christianity? Or might it only be required in certain cultural contexts?
