Here, further, it is sought in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are in nakedness, and buffeted, and wander without a home,

but on account of fornications, let each have his own wife, and each woman have her own husband.

Let the husband render her due to the wife, and in like manner the wife to the husband.

The wife has not authority over her own body, but the husband: in like manner also the husband has not authority over his own body, but the wife.

(but if also she shall have been separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband;) and let not husband leave wife.

But as to the rest, I say, not the Lord, If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not leave her.

And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.

There is a difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that has married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.

A wife is bound for whatever time her husband lives; but if the husband be fallen asleep, she is free to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered puts her own head to shame; for it is one and the same as a shaved woman.

For if a woman be not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it be shameful to a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her be covered.

Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.

Does not even nature itself teach you, that man, if he have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?

But woman, if she have long hair, it is glory to her; for the long hair is given to her in lieu of a veil.

For first, when ye come together in assembly, I hear there exist divisions among you, and I partly give credit to it.

It is written in the law, By people of other tongues, and by strange lips, will I speak to this people; and neither thus will they hear me, saith the Lord.

Why do we also endanger ourselves every hour?
