1 Corinthians
keyword: pray
1 Corinthians 11:4 - Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,
1 Corinthians 11:5 - but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven.
1 Corinthians 11:13 - Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered?
What
the proper appearance in prayers or prophecy
man should not cover his head
because his head is the Christ and that was not honour to his Head
woman should not uncover her head
in custom, it is related to sexual indication so it is not proper
for the sake of others

to deal with the problem arose in the church of Corinthians
What early was said
Do all to the glory of God
lawful
helpful
build up others
conscience
yours vs others
all things from God and we thanks God
Result
my reflection and action
God grant me understanding to realise the meaning of traditions and the interpretation of society so that what I behave is not to block others to know YOU but to help others glorify YOU.
In family, i give up the used behaviour - measure, judge or envy my family members and express my views in an appropriate manner and ways. If my beloved ones hurt me, I will forgive and pray and tell what I want from them.
for the sake of the glory of our God, among unbelievers
1 Corinthians 7:5 - Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
What was written early
What are not of God's Kingdom
sexual immorality
joined a prostitute: sin against body
joined in bodies means spirits are united as well
body is a temple of God
you are brought with a price
glorify God in your body
flee from sexual immorality
the authority of one's body among a couple
temporary separation for praying should be both agreed
a couple should concern conjugal needs of each others
lack of one's self-control
Satan may tempt
what issue now?
7:1 Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: t“It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.”
vs sexual temptation
husband have wife and vice versa
conjugal rights on the hand of your spouse
needs vs self-control
deprive the other vs authority over your body
exception: by agreement, stop to prayer for a limited time
what solution
concession, not a command
each one has his/her own gift from God
but gifts are different from one another
being a single is a gift as Paul's
remain single if your self-control is okay; otherwise get married, rather than burning with passion
Lord's charge: a wife should not separate from her husband; a husband should not divorce his wife
Paul's suggestion
if your unbelieving spouse consents to live with you, let he/she does and you do not divorce her/him
Lord's calling us to peace
your unbelieving partner is made holy because of you
save your unbelieving partner
otherwise, your child would become unclean
my reflection and action
flesh vs devotion to prayer
agreement for the separation in a limited time
communication and mutual understanding and showing concern your spouse
concern for causing any temptation to your spouse
