shaving the body

²⁷And you shall not cut the hair of your head circularly, nor shave your beard.

¹⁹Or do you not know that your bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? ²⁰For you have been bought at a great price. Glorify and carry God in your body.

⁵But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraces her head. For it is the same as if her head were shaven.

²⁸You shall not cut your flesh for the dead, and you shall not make other figures or marks on yourself. I am the Lord.

¹Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ. ²Now I praise you, brothers, because you are mindful of me in everything, in such a way as to hold to my precepts as I have handed them down to you. ³So I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ. But the head of woman is man. Yet truly, the head of Christ is God. ⁴Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered disgraces his head. ⁵But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraces her head. For it is the same as if her head were shaven. ⁶So if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off. Truly then, if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off, or to have her head shaven, then she should cover her head.

¹⁴Does not even nature herself teach you that, indeed, if a man grows his hair long, it is a disgrace for him?

¹⁷Therefore, he who knows that he ought to do a good thing, and does not do it, for him it is a sin.

Truly then, if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off, or to have her head shaven, then she should cover her head. ⁷Certainly, a man ought not to cover his head, for he is the image and glory of God. But woman is the glory of man.

²⁰In that day, the Lord will shave with a razor the ones hired by those who are across the river, by the king of the Assyrians, from the head to the hairs of the feet, with the entire beard.

¹“Be sons of the Lord your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make yourselves bald, because of the dead.

⁹If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.
