Divisions in the Church

I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.

As for me, it matters very little how I might be evaluated by you or by any human authority. I don’t even trust my own judgment on this point.

The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife.

This is my answer to those who question my authority.

For this reason, and because the angels are watching, a woman should wear a covering on her head to show she is under authority.

After that the end will come, when he will turn the Kingdom over to God the Father, having destroyed every ruler and authority and power.

For the Scriptures say, “God has put all things under his authority.” (Of course, when it says “all things are under his authority,” that does not include God himself, who gave Christ his authority.)

Then, when all things are under his authority, the Son will put himself under God’s authority, so that God, who gave his Son authority over all things, will be utterly supreme over everything everywhere.
