For those who think they have to obey every detail in the Bible, the subject of the hejab becomes a battle zone because some think they have to force women to wear the hejab. But many Christians cannot accept this because they say the New Testament was written for the 1st C. What we need to do is to see the principle behind the command. And that is that many women were coming to the church, especially in places like Corinth, dressed in a very provocative and sexy way. So to counter this Paul insisted they wear the hejab so their appearance is modest.
