Carl, yes...if that is what the text is saying. If you
look at the translation I inquired about, it reads
differently, almost radically so. That translation
makes the covering optional, as if Paul has no
preference ("not obligated" meaning he may or may
not). Whereas yours and mine state what OUGHT to be
the case. Which do you think it is?
