but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;

Not as putting you to shame do I write these things, but as my beloved children I do admonish,

unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of his brethren!

for if a woman is not covered -- then let her be shorn, and if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven -- let her be covered;

why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!

and if they wish to learn anything, at home their own husbands let them question, for it is a shame to women to speak in an assembly.

awake up, as is right, and sin not; for certain have an ignorance of God; for shame to you I say it.
