table of the Lord, and the table of daemons.
(22)Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
(23)All things are lawful for me, but all things are not profitable;
all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. (24)Let no man
seek his own gratification, but every one another's good.
(25)Every thing which is sold in the shambles eat, asking no question
for conscience sake; (26)"for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness
thereof[98]." (27)And if any one of those, who do not believe, invite
you, and ye incline to go, eat every thing set before you, asking no
question for conscience sake. (28)But if any person say unto you, This
is an idol's sacrifice, eat not of it, for his sake who pointed it out,
and for conscience sake. For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness
thereof. (29)Conscience indeed I say, not merely thine own, but that of
the other person.
(30)For why is my liberty abridged by another's conscience? If I truly
with thanksgiving am a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for
which I give thanks?
(31)Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all
things to the glory of God. (32)Give no occasion of stumbling either to
the Jews or the Gentiles, or the church of God: (33)even as I please
all men, not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many, that they
may be saved.
CHAP. XI.
BE ye imitators of me, as I am of Christ. (2)Now I praise you,
brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the
injunctions as I delivered them unto you. (3)But I desire you to take
notice that the head of every man is Christ; but the head of the woman
is the man, and the head of Christ is God. (4)Every man praying or
prophesying, holding _a veil_ over his head, dishonoureth his head;
(5)but every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled,
dishonoureth her head; for it is one and the same thing, as if she were
shaven. (6)For if the woman be not veiled, let her hair be clipped: but
if it would be scandalous for a woman to appear clipped or shaved, let
her be veiled. (7)For a man indeed ought not to veil his head, being
the image and the glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.
(8)For the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man.
(9)Also the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the
man. (10)Therefore ought the woman to retain upon her head _this badge
of authority_, because of the angels _of the churches_.
