But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;

Paul’s Paternal Care

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

I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?

For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.

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