But if someone says to you, "This is from a sacrifice," do not eat, because of the one who told you and because of conscience—

I do not mean yours but the other person's. For why is my freedom being judged by another's conscience?

just as I also try to please everyone in all things. I do not seek my own benefit, but the benefit of many, so that they may be saved.

But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.

But any woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disgraces her head, for it is one and the same thing as having a shaved head.

For if a woman will not cover her head, she should cut off her hair. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should cover her head.

For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.

Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for man.

For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman. But all things come from God.

but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

But if we examined ourselves, we would not be judged.

But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned with the world.

Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit.

And there are different ministries, but the same Lord.

And there are different results, but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.

For in fact the body is not a single member, but many.

But as a matter of fact, God has placed each of the members in the body just as he decided.

So now there are many members, but one body.
