For a man indeed ought not cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

Judge for yourselves, Is it comely for a woman to pray to God with uncovered head?

But if any man dispute these things, we have no precedent, neither has the church of God.

Why? Have you not houses to eat and drink in? or do you not respect the church of God, and want to shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? No, for this, I cannot praise you.#

Wherefore I want you to understand that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, calls Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the LORD but by the Holy Spirit.

And there are diversities of powers, but it is the one God who works all things in all men.

But now God has set every member in the body, as it has pleased him.

For our comely parts have no need for attention: But God has so tempered the body together, and has given greater honor to the member which is inferior:

For God has set in his church, first apostles; after them, prophets; then teachers, then performers of miracles, then those who have the gift of healing, helpers, leaders, and speakers in diverse languages.

For he who speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not to men, but to God; for no man understands what he says; however through the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

I thank God, that I speak with tongues more than you all:

Thus the secrets of his heart will be revealed, and then he will fall on his face, and he will worship God and say, Truly God is among you.

But if there is no one to interpret, let him who speaks in an unknown tongue keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

For God is not a God of confusion but of peace, and he is in all churches of the saints.

What? Did the word of God come from you? or did it come for you only?

For I am the least of the apostles, and I am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace that is in me has not been in vain; for I labored more abundantly than them all: yet not I, but God''s grace that is within me.

And we are also found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ when he had not raised him.

Then will come the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule, and all authority, and power.
