I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?

For 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.

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
