So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.Therefore, let us no longer judge one another. Instead decide never to put a stumbling block or pitfall in the way of your brother or sister.I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. Still, to someone who considers a thing to be unclean, to that one it is unclean.For if your brother or sister is hurt by what you eat, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy, by what you eat, someone for whom Christ died.

since God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,the women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but are to submit themselves, as the law also says.If they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home, since it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.Or did the word of God originate from you, or did it come to you only?If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, he should recognize that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.If anyone ignores this, he will be ignored.So then, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.But everything is to be done decently and in order.

Then certain ones said,“ Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah, for instruction will never be lost from the priest, or counsel from the wise, or a word from the prophet. Come, let’s denounce him and pay no attention to all his words.”Pay attention to me, LORD. Hear what my opponents are saying!Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have dug a pit for me. Remember how I stood before you to speak good on their behalf, to turn your anger from them.

What you’re saying about Ishmael is a lie.”

Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?Does not even nature itself 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 her hair is given to her as a covering.If anyone wants to argue about this, we have no other custom, nor do the churches of God.
