Epistle
1 Corinthians 10.28-11.7
Read in context10:28But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof:
10:29Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?
10:30For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
10:31Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
10:32Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
10:33Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
11:1Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
11:2Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
11:3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
11:4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
11:5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
11:6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
11:7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
