Deuteronomy 22:5

“Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.”

Addresses distinctions in appearance between men and women, relating to cultural norms and God-ordained roles.

“I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.”

Emphasizes distinct roles and behaviors, particularly focusing on modesty and appropriate attire for women.

“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

While seemingly contradictory, it highlights the spiritual equality in Christ, but does not negate distinct roles or call for cross-dressing.
