Romans 14:12-15
So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.

for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk.Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter!
-

even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.
-
1 Corinthians 14 33-1 Corinthians 14 40
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace— as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.Or did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached?If anyone thinks they are a prophet or otherwise gifted by the Spirit, let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command.But if anyone ignores this, they will themselves be ignored.Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.
-
Jeremiah 18:18-20
They said,“ Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah; for the teaching of the law by the priest will not cease, nor will counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophets. So come, let’s attack him with our tongues and pay no attention to anything he says.”Listen to me, Lord; hear what my accusers are saying!Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have dug a pit for me. Remember that I stood before you and spoke in their behalf to turn your wrath away from them.

Why should he take your life and cause all the Jews who are gathered around you to be scattered and the remnant of Judah to perish?”But Gedaliah son of Ahikam said to Johanan son of Kareah,“ Don’t do such a thing! What you are saying about Ishmael is not true.”

1 Corinthians 11 13-1 Corinthians 11 16
Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?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.If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice— nor do the churches of God.
