Why, nature itself teaches you. PHUSIS - nature - is translated own free will in Romans 2:14. Thayer says it means here: the native sense of propriety [decency].

But so did the Nazarites in the Jewish world (Numbers 6:5).] At Corinth, it would have violated 1 Corinthians 10:32 for a man to wear long hair, or a woman to go outside her house without wearing a face-veil.
