But I want you to understand that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of the Messiah is God.

For a man indeed should not have his head veiled, because he is the image and glory of God, and the woman is the glory of man.

for as the woman was made from the man, so also the man is now born through the woman. But everything is from God.

Decide for yourselves: is it appropriate for a woman to pray to God when she is unveiled?

However, if anyone wants to argue about it, the fact remains that we have no such custom, nor do the Messianic communities of God.

Therefore, I want to make it clear to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says, "Yeshua is cursed!" and no one can say, "Yeshua is Lord," except by the Ruach HaKodesh.

And there are different modes of working, but it is the same God working them all in everyone.

But as it is, God arranged each of the parts in the body exactly as he wanted them.

while our attractive parts have no need for such treatment. Indeed, God has put the body together in such a way that he gives greater dignity to the parts that lack it,

And God has placed in the Messianic Community first, emissaries; second, prophets; third, teachers; then those who work miracles; then those with gifts of healing; those with ability to help; those skilled in administration; and those who speak in various tongues.

For now we see obscurely in a mirror, but then it will be face to face. Now I know partly; then I will know fully, just as God has fully known me.

For someone speaking in a tongue is not speaking to people but to God, because no one can understand, since he is uttering mysteries in the power of the Spirit.

I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you,

and the secrets of his heart are laid bare; so he falls on his face and worships God, saying, "God is really here among you!"

And if there is no one present who can interpret, let the people who speak in tongues keep silent when the congregation meets — they can speak to themselves and to God.

for God is not a God of unruliness but of shalom. As in all the congregations of God's people,

Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached?

For I am the least of all the emissaries, unfit to be called an emissary, because I persecuted the Messianic Community of God.

But by God's grace I am what I am, and his grace towards me was not in vain; on the contrary, I have worked harder than all of them, although it was not I but the grace of God with me.

furthermore, we are shown up as false witnesses for God in having testified that God raised up the Messiah, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.
