1 Corinthians 10:28-11:7 (Epistle)

28
But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake; for “the earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness.”
29
Conscience, I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience?
30
But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food over which I give thanks?
31
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
32
Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God,
33
just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
1
Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. (2) Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.
3
But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
4
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
5
But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.
6
For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
7
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
