23Do not continue to drink only water, but make use of a little wine, for the sake of your stomach and your frequent infirmities.

18And he said to them: “So, are you also without prudence? Do you not understand that everything entering to a man from outside is not able to pollute him? 19For it does not enter into his heart, but into the gut, and it exits into the sewer, purging all foods.”

22So then, flee from the desires of your youth, yet truly, pursue justice, faith, hope, charity, and peace, along with those who call upon the Lord from a pure heart.

32Come, let us inebriate him with wine, and let us sleep with him, so that we may be able to preserve offspring from our father.” 33And so they gave their father wine to drink that night. And the elder went in, and she slept with her father. But he did not perceive it, neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up. 34Likewise, the next day, the elder said to the younger: “Behold, yesterday I slept with my father, let us give him wine to drink yet again this night, and you will sleep with him, so that we may save offspring from our father.” 35And then they gave their father wine to drink that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and slept with him. And not even then did he perceive when she lay down, or when she rose up. 36Therefore, the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father. 37And the elder gave birth to a son, and she called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites, even to the present day.

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.
