Philippians 2:3-5
Instead of being motivated by selfish ambition or vanity, each of you should, in humility, be moved to treat one another as more important than yourself.Each of you should be concerned not only about your own interests, but about the interests of others as well.You should have the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had,

Therefore, each of us will give an account of himself to God.Therefore we must not pass judgment on one another, but rather determine never to place an obstacle or a trap before a brother or sister.I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean in itself; still, it is unclean to the one who considers it unclean.For if your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died.

1 Corinthians 14 33-1 Corinthians 14 40
for God is not characterized by disorder but by peace. As in all the churches of the saints,the women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak. Rather, let them be in submission, as in fact the law says.If they want to find out about something, they should ask their husbands at home, because it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.Did the word of God begin with you, or did it come to you alone?If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, he should acknowledge that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.If someone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.So then, brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid anyone from speaking in tongues.And do everything in a decent and orderly manner.

Jeremiah 18:18-20
Then some people said,“ Come on! Let us consider how to deal with Jeremiah! There will still be priests to instruct us, wise men to give us advice, and prophets to declare God’s word. Come on! Let’s bring charges against him and get rid of him! Then we will not need to pay attention to anything he says.”Then I said,“ LORD, pay attention to me. Listen to what my enemies are saying.Should good be paid back with evil? Yet they are virtually digging a pit to kill me. Just remember how I stood before you pleading on their behalf to keep you from venting your anger on them.

Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?Does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace for him,but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.If anyone intends to quarrel about this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.
