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

This I say to your shame. Is there utterly no wise man among you? What, not one at all? That can judge between brother and brother?

If the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn. If it be shame for a woman to be shaven or shorn, let her cover her head.

Or else doth not nature teach you, that it is a shame for a man, if he have long hair:

Have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or else despise ye the congregation of God? And shame them that have not? What shall I say unto you? Shall I praise you? In this praise I you not.

If they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for women to speak in the congregation.
