If then there are questions to be judged in connection with the things of this life, why do you put them in the hands of those who have no position in the church?

So, then, as to the question of taking food offered to images, we are certain that an image is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

Whatever meat may be had at the public market, take as food without question of right or wrong;

If a Gentile makes a feast for you, and you are pleased to go as a guest, take whatever is put before you, without question of right or wrong.

So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?

But if any man will not be ruled in this question, this is not our way of doing things, and it is not done in the churches of God.

And if they have a desire for knowledge about anything, let them put questions to their husbands privately: for talking in the church puts shame on a woman.
