Now there was a certain man named Ananias who with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, and kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought the rest which he laid at the apostles feet. upon which Peter said, Ananias, how could satan inspire thine heart to lye to the holy ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?read more.

Be you yourselves judges: is it decent for a woman to pray to God without a veil? does not settled custom show it is a shame for a man to have long hair? on the contrary, such is an ornament to a woman: because it was given her as a sort of veil. but if any man has a mind to be contentious, I answer, we have no such custom, nor any of the churches of God.

Now as to the question you writ to me about; "whether it is best for a man not to marry?" I answer, with regard to the licentious, it is best for a man, to have his wife; and for a woman to have her husband. let the husband discharge his obligations to his wife: and likewise the wife to the husband.read more.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, but ye would not!
