1Cr 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having [his] head covered, dishonoureth his head.


1Cr 11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with [her] head uncovered dishonoureth her head

1Cr 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches:

1Cr 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

Your verses are taken out of context. To read it all, Paul says a man must pray with his head uncovered, however we see the Orthodox Jews always praying with hats or yamulkes on. A woman's long hair is a covering. Also and very important, note the sentence ending the chapter:

For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

If all Christians can argue about is the size of a Sunday hat, fortunate are they indeed.
