Thus the heart of the issue is that immodest women shame their heads (their husbands). A loving and submitted Christian wife will love and honor her husband by being modest in her appearance. |
It would probably be beneficial to the conversation to list any other cultural expressions in the NT that are not practiced today. Can you list any?
