I would like to add my two cents here after reading this discussion. First of all I believe we should follow the teaching in 1st Corinthians 11. The main problem here is the misunderstanding of 1st Corinthians 11 altogether. I also have made an intense study of this passage, and the obvious conclusion is that Paul was referring to long hair being the covering. The first thing one should take notice is the lack of wording required to conclude that a veil is being referred to here. The word veil or cloth is not in the text if we read from the King James version. If you read from the “modern” versions then you might get that view but not from the Textus Receptus. I would like for you to reread the verses that allegedly refer to a veil which is 4-7 and 13. In those verses we read the words, cover, uncovered and not covered. According to scholars these are used as adverbs. Like if you were to say I am going to cover my feet. No one should be thinking of a veil just the action of being covered. What is missing in these verses are nouns that would prove the idea of veils. Since we should not be assuming anything we should be asking the question what is the thing that a woman should be covered WITH based on the passage ALONE? So if you do the math you would find that Paul refers to hair directly 3 times and then indirectly 4 times with the words shorn and shaven. So if there is no noun for the word veil or cloth yet there are 7 instances of idea of hair, then what are we to conclude? That Paul is referring to hair whether it be short or long. But the counterargument would be that Paul is allegedly telling women to put something on. But that is not exactly true it says a woman should be covered, but he is referring to long hair based on the surrounding verses. But what about that a woman ought to be covered when praying or prophesying? The assumption is a that Paul was referring to only two instances which is not true he was merely giving us two examples. This also applies to men about being uncovered. Evidence of this is written in the forgoing verses. Paul writes that men ought not to cover because he is the image and glory of God. And then Paul goes into how woman was made for man and is the glory of the man. So it would seem that man shouldn’t be covered at any time if he is the glory and image of God. Paul also mentions that the mere observation of a praying woman should make us note how uncomely (unappealing in appearance) for a woman to be uncovered. Paul states this in a way that it should be obvious to anyone that she looks off in verse 13. He does this again in verse 14 about how shameful it looks if a man has long hair. He says it this way… Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? KJV So this judgement that we should make is exclusively based on observation of an “uncovered” woman as well as a long haired man. Two consecutive questions both appealing to something innate or within us. Paul is in essence saying that it should be obvious to see that something is wrong or off. So how is it that for the women we are somehow to know within us that a woman would be unappealing in appearance without a manufactured veil? That does not seem logical especially since the word veil is never mentioned. Unless that is not what Paul is meaning but rather that if the woman was not covered in long hair (meaning her hair is short) doing something holy or godly LIKE praying or prophesying. I think most people can relate that looking at a woman with short hair does have an unappealing appearance. It naturally provokes head turns. And if there was any question Paul flat out states what he was talking about in verse 15. So the facts are that there no nouns to use as evidence of a veil. There is evidence that Paul was using praying and prophesying as examples. Paul appeals to nature and something innate within us to judge that being uncovered or covered (meaning having short hair or long hair) should be obvious to all. So this cannot make sense with a manufactured veil.
I am a christian woman who wears head covering all the time to work church and where ever i go this is my conviction! I actually feel naked without covering my head...
Seriously, the Bible says it plainly. A WOMAN'S HAIR IS HER COVERING. You do not have to wear a cloth covering. Read it in the Bible. I Cor. 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
Not really. It talks about two types of coverings. If you go to the 1 Cor. 11 passage you will see it requires that women wear a headcovering ( a different root word then hair as a covering) when praying or prophesying. This is different then her hair as a covering which is referred to later in the passage.
I dont understand the bible says a women's hair is her Glory. Why do you all cover it up if its your Glory. How can anyone see your Glory if you cover it up?
thank you for this because that's what I was thinking. I believe if you are married you need to cover your hair and take the make up off and do it only for your husband because you don't want to attract other men or spirits when you are in public. but be modest ladies even before marriage. because it will attract the right men. Godly men. thank you so much. I've tried the head covering and it made me feel closer to God and my husband spiritually.
Wow! All these comments from angry & closed minded people! Did you bother to listen to this man at all or did you come here already determined to try to "pick a fight?" He's not only giving you his own best opinions, but he's suggesting to those who are wondering about this question (not you people - just those who are interested) to test it for themselves; never once does he proclaim that only one way is absolutely correct on this issue or that a woman owes her husband her hair. That's the problem with anger and being closed minded - you'll never learn anything new because you're so busy thinking of what you believe are "clever zingers" to use for your comments and so impressed with your own skills and excited about all the people you will convert to your own thinking with your great arguments. Truth is, when you don't take the time to listen respectfully to others, people observe that in your comments and the only people who are impressed by what you say are those who are already like minded.
I was moved, spiritually, to cover my hair six years ago. I had not been raised to cover my hair so I asked myself, why do so many women cover their hair? What I found out was a relief-we are supposed to [ I Cor. 11:5 ]. When I committed to covering my hair all of the time, the blessings came pouring in! I pray I never turn back. Thank you Paul, for your inspiration and truth.

Shalom! I am single.... but have been covering my head and overall, dressing more modestly since about June of this year... ultimately, what I get from Paul's writing on the subject of headcovers is, "judge for yourselves if a woman should pray with her head uncovered..." personally, I'm bound to pray/communicate with Father at least several times per day, on most days, therefore I have judged it righteous to cover my own.... Along with the process of inner sanctification, the outward manifestation of covering up have blessed my appearance and spirit! Naturally, I have very beautiful, long, curly hair that has always attracted men. Sometimes the wrong sort who tend to be mostly carnally minded...lol, so perhaps, a woman ought to have her head covered because of the angels AND because of every Mr. Wrong out there! When I am married, the natural state of my hair will be for my husband, his to behold. Something special and hidden in lieu of what I cannot give to him, having been sold-out in sin, years ago :) I also save a ton of $$$ on hair products now! Cha-ching!
It is talking about public prayer as to. it distract the men at congregational meetings and preaching as a woman teaching prophesying to them. That is what it means. Because it says a woman’s hair is her glory and God is to receive the glory in congregation.
I started covering my hair in July. I love covering so much!!! I am treated more respectfully by men because of my head coverings and modest dress. My head coverings remind me that I am under the headship of my husband and remind me to submit. I feel closer to God when I keep my head covered. My husband does not like me to wear makeup; he prefers me plain. I keep my hair covered most of the day, but he pulls it down in the evening or before bed. Uncovering my hair has become a thing my husband loves to do when we are home for the evening and have no plans to go out.
I know your post is old, but I wanted to respond anyways... Thank you for sharing about how your husband loves to enjoy your hair just for times when it's just the two of you. It shows a beautiful pure romance between you and a personal connection that is exclusive to only the two of you. I think that this is beautiful and priceless. I think many women and even men, don't take extra care and thought to the idea of intimacy of life style. This is a powerful concept.
For the last month I have covered full time in public. I haven’t gotten any bad attention from anyone actually. But men I’ve been surprised by. I have gotten great feedback. The guys at the store (middle eastern men) all have commented they love that I’m wrapping my head and that it looks great and is respectful. I got lots of comments even from women but it’s all good stuff. They ask why I’m doing it sometimes and then I get to talk about Yeshua to them! My husband doesn’t like it exactly but I’m not doing it for him. My sons barber shop guys are all Jewish as well and I’ve been told I can pull it off covering my head. So what I’m saying is men have actually been respectful to me. Not hitting on me. But respectful.
Amen, in the old days when people were closer to God, it was expected of Godly women to always wear a hat, or to pin the hair up as a sign of modesty, not to keep men from lusting, but as women professing Godliness, modesty, self-control, shame-facedness, and with sobriety, piety and able to not "show off' publicly their gorgeous mane.

I pray that my husband draws closer to God to accept these practices concerning head coverings, pants, jewelry, and makeup. He's one of those that likes me looking "sexy." I'm over it, I want to be closer to God. Pray for me.

These comments are very revealing in terms of people's heart issues. It's amazing that two people can watch the same video and yet come to completely opposite conclusions. I've seen and read many teachings on the issue of headcovering and I think this is one of the best yet. He clearly says this is a matter of heart conviction, not salvation. IF a woman feels conviction (NOT to be confused with condemnation - spiritual conviction is not like being convicted in court of wrong doing, it is a knowing in your spirit that you ought to be doing something, or not) she should pray about it. Some of the comments here reveal hearts that seem teachable, they want to be obedient to Yahweh. Others reveal hearts that seem to be haughty and arrogant..."who does this man think he is telling women what to do?" or that headcovering is legalism. Only the Father can truly know if someone is doing something because they believe their works produce salvation (that is what legalism is) or because they love Him and want to do what they believe the Father is calling them to do. Who are we to judge a woman for convering her hair and saying she is in bondage to legalism?
I agree. I'm a man and I always notice the hair, the fingernails, and makeup. I get weak when a woman with nice feet shows her painted toes, too. I don't judge them because I love every soul, but it's a struggle for me.
The scripture says a woman should cover her HEAD, not her hair, WHEN she PRAYS or PROPHESIES. The purpose is not a modesty issue but, to show she's under the authority of a HUSBAND.
Where does The Scripture say that a woman should cover her head with a piece of cloth? Does it not say that the husband is the head of a women, not a piece of cloth?

I’m a part time hijabi lol. Covering my head makes me feel…, well coverd lol. It’s so hard to dress immodest when wearing a head covering. It just doesn’t feel or look right. It’s also a gentle reminder that Holy Spirit is on, with, and in me.. always. I’m so glade we have this choice
I relate to your comment. I felt the Holy Spirit say to me last week, “Dress as if you would be standing in front of the Lord. How would you feel if you had to stand before the Lord at any moment?” I immediately had an image in my mind of standing in the presence of the Lord and I felt naked and exposed without a head covering.
In the part about the make-up, I recalled a female comedian named Rita Rudner who said that she would wait until her husband went to sleep before taking her make-up off and wake up earlier than him to put it on, and then said she was exhausted, but she was beautiful. One night, her husband woke up from a bad dream and she asked him if he was alright. He looked at her and said, "Who are you?"
This is very helpful for everyone who believes head covering is the way to go - highly informative for Jews, Christians, & Muslims alike! You made a lot of great points. Thank you!
Jesus orders Christians to follow the Law of Moses in the Old Testament: "Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18)" It is quite clear from these verses from the New Testament that Jesus peace be upon him did honor the Old Testament and did say that every single "letter" of it has to be honored, followed and fulfilled.
You don't need to say Peace Be Upon Him for our Lord, Jesus, for He is not dead. Muslims only say that about Mohammad and other prophets because they fear he may not have ended up in Heaven. We know Jesus did, and was ressurected.
I believe that when Paul talked about women covering their head he was speaking to Jewish converts who already knew about the head covering teaching from the Hebrew scriptures. There is no excuse for being uncovered.

Paul appeals to nature and something innate within us to judge that being uncovered or covered (meaning having short hair or long hair) should be obvious to all. So this cannot make sense with a manufactured veil.
I was convicted by Ruach HaKodesh to wear a head covering. Just like Paul said pray and be led and I know that I know your husband will come in and confirm what Elohim says. Amien
Ladies, I'll definitely second what Paul is saying here. I'm in Torah for about 6 months now but I was convicted about headcovering while in New Age! It was the craziest thing and I combed the Internet to try to find justification for NOT giving in to obedience. (and my daughter is a hair stylist in a up-scale salon so this made it extra hard). Now, I can't imagine going out in public without a covering. I use different ones--from scarves to tichels to very traditional prayer kapps. TRY IT!!!
...I have wore head coverings but I always felt I was exulting my self "like a crown to draw attention to myself" ...like look at the gal with her scarf on her head...many commented it was very nice... to my knowledge, at the time I wasnt looking for attention but was supposedly dressing in a more hebreic way, which was/ is a custom in very hot and sandy, dusty regions to keep there hair nice and clean longer you kept it covered....
I am conflicted as I am single. I'm sometimes afraid that a man who might like need will think I'm married and woukd think making conversation would be perceived by me as disrespectful. I've been covering again. I used to then not then again then not now again like I said conflicted. I do notice men do keep a distance when I wear one. Not like I want all these men to like come to me in look at me in like an undesired way but I'd love to eventually meet someone ...
I would like to add my two cents here after reading this discussion. First of all I believe we should follow the teaching in 1st Corinthians 11. The main problem here is the misunderstanding of 1st Corinthians 11 altogether. I also have made an intense study of this passage, and the obvious conclusion is that Paul was referring to long hair being the covering. The first thing one should take notice is the lack of wording required to conclude that a veil is being referred to here. The word veil or cloth is not in the text if we read from the King James version. If you read from the “modern” versions then you might get that view but not from the Textus Receptus. I would like for you to reread the verses that allegedly refer to a veil which is 4-7 and 13. In those verses we read the words, cover, uncovered and not covered. According to scholars these are used as adverbs. Like if you were to say I am going to cover my feet. No one should be thinking of a veil just the action of being covered. What is missing in these verses are nouns that would prove the idea of veils. Since we should not be assuming anything we should be asking the question what is the thing that a woman should be covered WITH based on the passage ALONE? So if you do the math you would find that Paul refers to hair directly 3 times and then indirectly 4 times with the words shorn and shaven. So if there is no noun for the word veil or cloth yet there are 7 instances of idea of hair, then what are we to conclude? That Paul is referring to hair whether it be short or long. But the counterargument would be that Paul is allegedly telling women to put something on. But that is not exactly true it says a woman should be covered, but he is referring to long hair based on the surrounding verses. But what about that a woman ought to be covered when praying or prophesying? The assumption is a that Paul was referring to only two instances which is not true he was merely giving us two examples. This also applies to men about being uncovered. Evidence of this is written in the forgoing verses. Paul writes that men ought not to cover because he is the image and glory of God. And then Paul goes into how woman was made for man and is the glory of the man. So it would seem that man shouldn’t be covered at any time if he is the glory and image of God. Paul also mentions that the mere observation of a praying woman should make us note how uncomely (unappealing in appearance) for a woman to be uncovered. Paul states this in a way that it should be obvious to anyone that she looks off in verse 13. He does this again in verse 14 about how shameful it looks if a man has long hair. He says it this way… Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? KJV So this judgement that we should make is exclusively based on observation of an “uncovered” woman as well as a long haired man. Two consecutive questions both appealing to something innate or within us. Paul is in essence saying that it should be obvious to see that something is wrong or off. So how is it that for the women we are somehow to know within us that a woman would be unappealing in appearance without a manufactured veil? That does not seem logical especially since the word veil is never mentioned. Unless that is not what Paul is meaning but rather that if the woman was not covered in long hair (meaning her hair is short) doing something holy or godly LIKE praying or prophesying. I think most people can relate that looking at a woman with short hair does have an unappealing appearance. It naturally provokes head turns. And if there was any question Paul flat out states what he was talking about in verse 15. So the facts are that there no nouns to use as evidence of a veil. There is evidence that Paul was using praying and prophesying as examples. Paul appeals to nature and something innate within us to judge that being uncovered or covered (meaning having short hair or long hair) should be obvious to all. So this cannot make sense with a manufactured veil.
When I was a young adult in the early 60s, I had rejected religion, and the Bible. But sometimes I would drop into a local Roman Catholic Cathedral. Just because of its grandeur and beauty inside. I would cover my head there. But then I was told that both protestants and Catholics no longer required for women’s heads to be covered before entering a church. It was a strange thing to me that when I heard that the rules had been changed, I felt this conviction, strongly, that the change was wrong. That was very odd since I really didn’t care one way or another. Years later I did finally come to the Lord, eventually to Hebrew Roots. Though I never met anyone personally, who ever even thought about head coverings, anywhere, including with Hebrew Roots, online I did see that some HR women were promoting head coverings. This Most important to me, though, is that I know I need to follow that conviction given to me by the Almighty, even if it took me decades to catch on.
The way you explain things makes sense . I have had long hair all my life and had many men comment on it or want to touch it . I braid it now but I am being lead to start covering . You are right .
Hmmm. I thought head coverings were more for the angels. So the fallen angels know that the women is taken by The Most High Creator. I agree about make up. It's not that hard to be modest.
I'm not married but when I cover my hair even if it's a tichel or a wig I'm doing it for me and most importantly for Heshem. It makes me closer and passionate. Shalom
So why would He mention the shaving of hair, if covering of the physical head wasnt the point. Sure there is nothing directly gained from the covering of the head, but the act itself has an affect in the soul and therefore the spirit. It is not causality but when done with the right heart it invites a growth of the soul into his spirit.
Because in Corinth, the prostitutes and the women who committed adultery would shave their heads. Slaves also had their heads shaved. It was a sign of shame... That was the point of that verse.
Me n my mate enjoy our private intimate life..only he gets to see my full beauty in the privacy of our home ..dressing modest and covering my head is so sacred to us both...we want to please God and in each other's hearts...not to please the world!
I love to cover my head, I make clothes with head covering IE hoodies attached! But I do not always "engage" the hoodie! But this is certainly not an issue to be legalistic over. I think men should look away if they are having lustful thoughts, and women should not purposely entice men either.
While listning and watching beautiful place.. I remembered about Jezebel, not beauty for attention but beauty in holiness, worshiping in the beauty of holiness..
What a great teaching. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this subject. It’s really an interesting concept to me to wear a head covering. It definitely makes you feel a certain way…and set apart. It also feels strange to me because the only example I’ve had is the Muslim community and I’ve always associated it w Muslim women who are often portrayed as being treated so poorly? Also, I have short hair so I don’t fall into the category of the long flowing hair woman that distracts men? What are your thoughts on short haired women or is it a sin to have short hair as a woman? I’ve never researched that?
I think it would be a blessing and a gift to your husband if he was the only man to see your hair. Also you should always be in prayer and the word says her head should be covered when she is praying. But I say try it for a week or a month with no plans to continue and just see how you feel and decide after that what you would like to do. Look at my video called "The Modesty Experiment"
Also, I would urge to contemplate the tabernacle. If God can cover his glory, who am I not to cover mine? ;) (1 Cor 11:15) Seriously, I think of it as that enclosure that the tabernacle was in. It's our protection.
thank you for letting us know how you feel but no where in the Torah does it say it is a command. I agree it is best and symbolism of 1 cor. 11 talks about but it is not a command. Shalom
I was told in America that covering my head will repel men and I will never get a husband. I cover up and typically Muslim men confront me. I appreciate this video. ❤
I don't wear a head covering, but I always go out in public with my hair up in a ponytail. I've done this all my adult life. Even before I was in a Messonianic Judium Religion.
What do you have to say about tzitzit for women? "When the command was given it was given to the "children" of Yisrael. Yet, the word "ben"(usually used as male, "son of") is used in the text. But it is also used in various commands given to Israel which we know weren't only for men."
I am a 59 year old women who pretty much wears a head covering all the time they won't let me wear a regular one at work so I wear a headband it's not exactly head covering but it's symbolic enough to me to be a representation of a proper head covering I appreciate your honesty saying how men think how they look at women when women present themselves a certain way these women prance around and they get attention from the type of man that they want but also the type of man that they don't want and then they complain about it they dress themselves and very sexual and revealing manners and then don't expect the men to react away men to their like well I can dress this way you just have to get used to it. Is it any wonder that the Islamic culture tells women to wear burkas and hijabs?
absolutely love this. i don't agree with wearing a head covering, but other than that i agree. I don't wear make up, I wear skirts past the knee, and shirts with sleeves. I have read 1 Cor 11 and it specifically says we are to have long hair (and when studied deeper, it means "uncut hair") it also says if women prays with her head uncovered she may as well have her hair shaved off. a) why mention the hair if it's about a head piece? and b) we are to pray without ceasing. (running out of room)
AMEN. Very Well Said. However.... 1st Corinthians 11:5-6 states "if a woman have Long Hair it is given her for a covering, if a woman be shaven or shorn let her be covered, (nature itself teaches us its a shame for a woman to be shaven and for a man to have long hair) A woman's long hair IS her Covering and she need not cover her head.
A woman's hair is her "glory"! If you choose to cover your "glory" so be it on to you! If you choose to not cover your glory fine! Do all things as unto the Lord and you will be fine ladies!
IF a man can not look upon a women who was given long hair as her covering by GOD, without lusting after her. THEN THE MAN needs to turn to Jesus and ask for help to not lust, thats HIS issue he needs to work out w God. Men are to respect and protect women, not lust after them. If a Woman is using her Hair or any part of her body to entice a man, then SHE needs to repent, for that is also lust. We should be Righteous under God, Through the Mercy and Grace of Jesus, having mutual respect for each other under ONE MASTER. His Law willbe wrote on our Hearts, and we will know through our submittance to Gods Will, IF we are doing anything for the wrong reason. God Bless, and TRUST JESUS ONLY, He will try the reins of your heart and perfect you to His Will, and JESUS NEVER FAILS.
All I can say is when I began headcovering so many things changed and it is very true that men and women both treated me differently, with more respect. Later in the 1 Cor. passage is says to cover because of the angels. Immediately I had less tormented thoughts, and it was like the unseen world recognized who I was, and prompted others, especially men to treat me with more respect.
If someone in your family was dealing with alcoholism would you have a drink in front of them and tell they to just deal with their temptation because that is their own problem? No. Because you love your family you will help them not to be tempted to the best of your ability because you want to preserve their life. It is the same in the Christian family. Your way of thinking is very selfish. In the kingdom of God we are here to serve. If it will not hurt you to cover up, then why not if it is for a good cause? Check your heart
Paul does not say that hair is seductive he just talks about the sign of authority and the angels women also have beautiful eyes that can attract a man shall we walk around with blindfolders also because we have natural beautiful eyes that can attract someone? anyone can cover their heads and have a seductive spirit
"Anyone can cover their head and have a seductive spirit" Yes, true, but just because that may be true, does not mean we should not do it. In our zeal to remove ourselves from hypocritical behavior, it seems we have run from any outward expression of our beliefs and convictions. I cannot effect someone else's motives, perhaps, but I can let God govern my own, and then obey with joy. If I am mis-judged, that is sad, but I can't live worried about the inner judgements of others or even their expressed judgements of me. God and His amazing Word are my gentle, loving Judge. I love Him. I try to do what He convicts me to do. And it's my joy to do do. Blessings to you.
also, I really admire that you spoke out against the men who make their wives dress sexy in public just to show her off as a trophy. feminists are angry at sexual objectification but also angry at covering. which is really annoying so I turned away from feminism and just focussed on important issues. my secular view of head covering is that it's a nice thing and it shouldn't be a religious thing, it should be a human thing.
I admire what you've said, I don't have any religion but I admire the religious women who can look beautiful while covered. I also love how you're not one of those hypocrite religious men who wear singlets and tell women to b modest, you're modest yourself. you wear full long sleeves, you even cover your head and have grown a beard. you also don't shame women into covering, you allow them the choice, you just give advice. if head covering wasn't religious I'd do it. but I'm secular. thank you!
What about men's hair length? I know that Paul also mentions that a man shouldn't have hair because he says " according to nature", But I think this is funny because according to nature a man's hair will be long unless he went to get it cut! Do you think that it's wrong for a man to have long hair? In our society men can have long hair and still not be mistaken for a woman because they can still dress masculine and be a good follower of Jesus. Also, if a woman has very short hair, should she still cover her hair? Not every woman wants to have very long hair or sometimes women can't grow very long hair. If a woman decides to have a pixie haircut or a shaved head or something like that, or if she has natural hair loss, should she still cover her hair for other reasons other than to deter a man's sexual attraction? Is there another reason for a woman to cover her head other than so that men won't covet her?
I would like to be clear, i have no problem with hair being up, i just don't see the necessity of it being up all the time as a modest issue. as you said, it's more of a modest thing in all areas, so i believe if we can be modest in everything else, then our hair being down won't really make it immodest. however, i have seen women with long hair, and not be modest in other areas. that shows they are not the child of God, especially if it's an immodest attitude.
I agree with you. Neck is nice looking and shape of body as well. This is why muslim women must cover everything in loose clothing except for the face (ears covered) and hands. A man is suppose to lower his gaze and prevent himself from admiring women. When a muslim man doesnt look a woman in the eyes is respect for her As a man you should ask yourself how many times you unintentionally admired the woman who was helping you at a shop or an attractive coworker you needed to discuss something with
All this is none sense Christ is the fulfilment of the Jewish law so why are you feeling the need for the Torah? The female head covering is to be used when a woman is praying or prophesying as for anything else you are do what the bible forbids that is adding to it for your own ends
I see where people can be drawn to hair although the hips ,breast and how she moves play a much larger roll all the way around. Think God for women and the beauty given them by our Creator.
The woman is sinning if she doesn't cover her head. Make-up is a form of sorcery. It's not of God. He made you in his image. Look up Jinno Jennings. He's a pastor who tells it like it is. I'm learning & I just thought I'd share. God bless.
Thank you brother I have been following your teachings and you have inspired me so much, pastors don't preach this in the church nowadays which is leading many souls to hell
Could you maybe have a video with women giving tips on how they do their hair modestly without a covering? People of different ethnicities have different types of hair. Some have thick hair, thin hair, curly, wavy, straight, etc. If someone's hair is thick or curly, pinning it up either knots it or gets too heavy. Practical tips from women on modest hairstyles would really help. I'm all for modesty, but I don't go the covering / hijab route. I stick to Torah. Deut 4:2. Yah bless.
Hey Paul; since this video is about modesty I wanted to share a thought that's been on my mind for some days now. I've come across many verses in the Tanach that mention nose-rings: Gen 24:47, Ezek 16:12, Prov 11:22, Pro 25:12... What do you think about this in a biblical perspective? By the way, I don't think that this is like tattoos, since they are a permanent thing, mark the skin and are not mentioned in the scriptures.
Oh and Paul must've been talking second cover to pray and prophesy because if our hair was it he wouldn't stipulate to cover for these two events cuz we wld always be covered
I am a Torah keeper, I used to wear a head covering, it is not biblical. A woman cuts and styles her hair to look thinner and beautiful, long hair is flat and cannot style it like styled hair. 1Co 11:15 But if an isha wears a long hairdo of a lady's coiffure, it is her kavod (SHIR HASHIRIM 4:1)? Because the long hair has been given to her instead of the sterntichel (kerchief) or kesut rosh (head covering).
she was to cover her glory at public prayer and other congregational meetings where people gathered under religious pretense. God was to have all the glory which is why she was to cover it at religious meetings.
The Bible has contradictions. In John 3:16 the Bible says that God loves everyone with a saving love while other verses says that he only loves the elect with a saving love.
The Bible never says that. God's Word says that nothing shall ever separate us from the love of God. God's Word says that God loves us with an everlasting love. God Word says that God showed his great love for us by sending Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. God loves everyone. Not everyone loves God. A person shows that they love God by keeping His commandments. I
shaloam love your video .I too wear a head cover and it is commanded in scripture and plus I want to be obedient to my YAH. ladies if you see this video this young man is only teaching scripture. stop the bad criticism. 🤔
I was raised on both the Muslim and Christian side. I have a great respect for the muslim people. I have a great respect for the deen that I was raised with but I have a belief in the christen belief system. My beliefs are with being a christian. But the muslim ways of dress with their women is wonderful. I what to wear a "hijab" and "abaya" but I dont want to be considered Muslim...what can I do to cover and not be associate with being a Muslim?
I love your comment and I feel exactly the same way! I have been doing lots of research on Islam and you might be surprised to learn that it was developed more than 600 years after the Gospel and lifetime of Christ. The Torah and Gospel were in popular circulation at the time and the ‘Islamic’ mode of dress for women was actually taken from the Jewish customs for women’s modesty. Look at depictions of Jesus’ mother Mary. She was a Jewish woman and, also a believer in Jesus messiah and saviour of humanity. My point is that Christian women can educate themselves on history and scripture, empowering themselves and reclaiming our mode of dress, so to speak. I have been dressing like a ‘hijabi’ and, whether people think I’m a Muslim or not is none of my business. But I have had people compliment my style recently and, if given the opportunity, I am excited to share with them that I am a follower of Christ and also following CHRISTIAN modesty. Let’s take it as an opportunity to educate people on the Word of God. My future family in law has many Muslim people and it’s a great opportunity to teach them that the history of modest dress is from our Lord YHWH and the Biblical scripture. Muslims judge Christianity based on what they see in public, they assume everyone in a western country is Christian, with the exception of multiculturalism, of course. So let’s show them the truth that modesty was a concept implemented by our God and they got the idea from us 😊
what if the husband does not behave holy at all? Would the woman still need to feel convicted? how should the woman feel if she covers but he is disobedient to God? I am not trying to be rude but want to know what you think.
@@reflectionsinthebible3579 1 Peter 3: Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. we are expected to set an example, even to ungodly husbands.
"I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me... Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am... I Am the Bread of Life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst... I Am the Door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture... Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it... I Am the Good Shepherd: the Good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I Am the Good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and Am known of Mine. As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one fold, and one Shepherd. Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father... My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are One... I Am the Resurrection, and the Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?.. I Am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of life... And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the Light, neither cometh to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God... Ye must be born again... Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit... If ye believe not that I Am He, ye shall die in your sins... If any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple... Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death, And shall deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify Him: and the third day He shall rise again... And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God... All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out... No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me... Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I Am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls... Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My Father... As thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given Him... And this is the will of Him that sent Me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day... Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also... Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder... Hearken unto Me every one of you, and understand: There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear... Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man... Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire... Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart... For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?.. Repent ye, and believe the Gospel...I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish... I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I Am He, ye shall die in your sins... I Am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I Am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death... I Am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last... I Am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." - The Lord Jesus Christ

Covering my hair has become a blessing in many ways, Shalom!
can you explain why? i am thinking about it
Hi is a head covering and bonnet the samething or I need to wear a head wrap and not a bonnet?
I would like to add my two cents here after reading this discussion. First of all I believe we should follow the teaching in 1st Corinthians 11. The main problem here is the misunderstanding of 1st Corinthians 11 altogether. I also have made an intense study of this passage, and the obvious conclusion is that Paul was referring to long hair being the covering.
The first thing one should take notice is the lack of wording required to conclude that a veil is being referred to here. The word veil or cloth is not in the text if we read from the King James version. If you read from the “modern” versions then you might get that view but not from the Textus Receptus.
I would like for you to reread the verses that allegedly refer to a veil which is 4-7 and 13. In those verses we read the words, cover, uncovered and not covered. According to scholars these are used as adverbs. Like if you were to say I am going to cover my feet. No one should be thinking of a veil just the action of being covered. What is missing in these verses are nouns that would prove the idea of veils. Since we should not be assuming anything we should be asking the question what is the thing that a woman should be covered WITH based on the passage ALONE? So if you do the math you would find that Paul refers to hair directly 3 times and then indirectly 4 times with the words shorn and shaven. So if there is no noun for the word veil or cloth yet there are 7 instances of idea of hair, then what are we to conclude? That Paul is referring to hair whether it be short or long.
But the counterargument would be that Paul is allegedly telling women to put something on. But that is not exactly true it says a woman should be covered, but he is referring to long hair based on the surrounding verses. But what about that a woman ought to be covered when praying or prophesying? The assumption is a that Paul was referring to only two instances which is not true he was merely giving us two examples. This also applies to men about being uncovered. Evidence of this is written in the forgoing verses. Paul writes that men ought not to cover because he is the image and glory of God. And then Paul goes into how woman was made for man and is the glory of the man. So it would seem that man shouldn’t be covered at any time if he is the glory and image of God. Paul also mentions that the mere observation of a praying woman should make us note how uncomely (unappealing in appearance) for a woman to be uncovered. Paul states this in a way that it should be obvious to anyone that she looks off in verse 13. He does this again in verse 14 about how shameful it looks if a man has long hair. He says it this way…
Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? KJV
So this judgement that we should make is exclusively based on observation of an “uncovered” woman as well as a long haired man. Two consecutive questions both appealing to something innate or within us. Paul is in essence saying that it should be obvious to see that something is wrong or off.
So how is it that for the women we are somehow to know within us that a woman would be unappealing in appearance without a manufactured veil? That does not seem logical especially since the word veil is never mentioned. Unless that is not what Paul is meaning but rather that if the woman was not covered in long hair (meaning her hair is short) doing something holy or godly LIKE praying or prophesying. I think most people can relate that looking at a woman with short hair does have an unappealing appearance. It naturally provokes head turns. And if there was any question Paul flat out states what he was talking about in verse 15.
So the facts are that there no nouns to use as evidence of a veil. There is evidence that Paul was using praying and prophesying as examples. Paul appeals to nature and something innate within us to judge that being uncovered or covered (meaning having short hair or long hair) should be obvious to all. So this cannot make sense with a manufactured veil.
I am a christian woman who wears head covering all the time to work church and where ever i go this is my conviction! I actually feel naked without covering my head...
good for you Candice. that is beautiful sister.
Seriously, the Bible says it plainly. A WOMAN'S HAIR IS HER COVERING. You do not have to wear a cloth covering. Read it in the Bible. I Cor. 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
Not really. It talks about two types of coverings. If you go to the 1 Cor. 11 passage you will see it requires that women wear a headcovering ( a different root word then hair as a covering) when praying or prophesying. This is different then her hair as a covering which is referred to later in the passage.
I dont understand the bible says a women's hair is her Glory. Why do you all cover it up if its your Glory. How can anyone see your Glory if you cover it up?
Gaetano Fasulo ur bible is corrupted ! in my bible it says to veil!!
thank you for this because that's what I was thinking. I believe if you are married you need to cover your hair and take the make up off and do it only for your husband because you don't want to attract other men or spirits when you are in public. but be modest ladies even before marriage. because it will attract the right men. Godly men. thank you so much. I've tried the head covering and it made me feel closer to God and my husband spiritually.
Don't wear make at all ur husband like,n love u the way u are
Amen !! Attract the right man !!! Godly man.
But head coverings make us even more beautiful especially as we age. What are your thoughts on that?
@@reflectionsinthebible3579 yes, head covering is beautiful
How would that attract spirit beings
Wow! All these comments from angry & closed minded people! Did you bother to listen to this man at all or did you come here already determined to try to "pick a fight?" He's not only giving you his own best opinions, but he's suggesting to those who are wondering about this question (not you people - just those who are interested) to test it for themselves; never once does he proclaim that only one way is absolutely correct on this issue or that a woman owes her husband her hair. That's the problem with anger and being closed minded - you'll never learn anything new because you're so busy thinking of what you believe are "clever zingers" to use for your comments and so impressed with your own skills and excited about all the people you will convert to your own thinking with your great arguments. Truth is, when you don't take the time to listen respectfully to others, people observe that in your comments and the only people who are impressed by what you say are those who are already like minded.
I was moved, spiritually, to cover my hair six years ago. I had not been raised to cover my hair so I asked myself, why do so many women cover their hair? What I found out was a relief-we are supposed to [ I Cor. 11:5 ]. When I committed to covering my hair all of the time, the blessings came pouring in! I pray I never turn back. Thank you Paul, for your inspiration and truth.
Amen
I would like to add my two cents here after reading this discussion. First of all I believe we should follow the teaching in 1st Corinthians 11. The main problem here is the misunderstanding of 1st Corinthians 11 altogether. I also have made an intense study of this passage, and the obvious conclusion is that Paul was referring to long hair being the covering.
The first thing one should take notice is the lack of wording required to conclude that a veil is being referred to here. The word veil or cloth is not in the text if we read from the King James version. If you read from the “modern” versions then you might get that view but not from the Textus Receptus.
I would like for you to reread the verses that allegedly refer to a veil which is 4-7 and 13. In those verses we read the words, cover, uncovered and not covered. According to scholars these are used as adverbs. Like if you were to say I am going to cover my feet. No one should be thinking of a veil just the action of being covered. What is missing in these verses are nouns that would prove the idea of veils. Since we should not be assuming anything we should be asking the question what is the thing that a woman should be covered WITH based on the passage ALONE? So if you do the math you would find that Paul refers to hair directly 3 times and then indirectly 4 times with the words shorn and shaven.

Modesty is an issue of the heart. In all areas. Correct.
Shalom! I am single.... but have been covering my head and overall, dressing more modestly since about June of this year... ultimately, what I get from Paul's writing on the subject of headcovers is, "judge for yourselves if a woman should pray with her head uncovered..." personally, I'm bound to pray/communicate with Father at least several times per day, on most days, therefore I have judged it righteous to cover my own.... Along with the process of inner sanctification, the outward manifestation of covering up have blessed my appearance and spirit!
Naturally, I have very beautiful, long, curly hair that has always attracted men. Sometimes the wrong sort who tend to be mostly carnally minded...lol, so perhaps, a woman ought to have her head covered because of the angels AND because of every Mr. Wrong out there! When I am married, the natural state of my hair will be for my husband, his to behold. Something special and hidden in lieu of what I cannot give to him, having been sold-out in sin, years ago :) I also save a ton of $$$ on hair products now! Cha-ching!
It is talking about public prayer as to. it distract the men at congregational meetings and preaching as a woman teaching prophesying to them. That is what it means. Because it says a woman’s hair is her glory and God is to receive the glory in congregation.
Do you still wear hair coverings, along with your mask?
The idea of saving your beauty for your husband is such a beautiful concept.
Read Mathew 5: 28-32, and chapter 19: 12
Love it
I started covering my hair in July. I love covering so much!!! I am treated more respectfully by men because of my head coverings and modest dress. My head coverings remind me that I am under the headship of my husband and remind me to submit. I feel closer to God when I keep my head covered. My husband does not like me to wear makeup; he prefers me plain. I keep my hair covered most of the day, but he pulls it down in the evening or before bed. Uncovering my hair has become a thing my husband loves to do when we are home for the evening and have no plans to go out.
I know your post is old, but I wanted to respond anyways... Thank you for sharing about how your husband loves to enjoy your hair just for times when it's just the two of you. It shows a beautiful pure romance between you and a personal connection that is exclusive to only the two of you. I think that this is beautiful and priceless. I think many women and even men, don't take extra care and thought to the idea of intimacy of life style. This is a powerful concept.
For the last month I have covered full time in public. I haven’t gotten any bad attention from anyone actually. But men I’ve been surprised by. I have gotten great feedback. The guys at the store (middle eastern men) all have commented they love that I’m wrapping my head and that it looks great and is respectful.
I got lots of comments even from women but it’s all good stuff. They ask why I’m doing it sometimes and then I get to talk about Yeshua to them! My husband doesn’t like it exactly but I’m not doing it for him. My sons barber shop guys are all Jewish as well and I’ve been told I can pull it off covering my head. So what I’m saying is men have actually been respectful to me. Not hitting on me. But respectful.
I'm a women & I don't see anything wrong with wearing a hat or head covering of some kind.
Amen, in the old days when people were closer to God, it was expected of Godly women to always wear a hat, or to pin the hair up as a sign of modesty, not to keep men from lusting, but as women professing Godliness, modesty, self-control, shame-facedness, and with sobriety, piety and able to not "show off' publicly their gorgeous mane.

I pray that my husband draws closer to God to accept these practices concerning head coverings, pants, jewelry, and makeup. He's one of those that likes me looking "sexy." I'm over it, I want to be closer to God. Pray for me.
Totally agree same 😔

@@robertmiller812 very good observation
These comments are very revealing in terms of people's heart issues. It's amazing that two people can watch the same video and yet come to completely opposite conclusions. I've seen and read many teachings on the issue of headcovering and I think this is one of the best yet. He clearly says this is a matter of heart conviction, not salvation. IF a woman feels conviction (NOT to be confused with condemnation - spiritual conviction is not like being convicted in court of wrong doing, it is a knowing in your spirit that you ought to be doing something, or not) she should pray about it.
Some of the comments here reveal hearts that seem teachable, they want to be obedient to Yahweh. Others reveal hearts that seem to be haughty and arrogant..."who does this man think he is telling women what to do?" or that headcovering is legalism. Only the Father can truly know if someone is doing something because they believe their works produce salvation (that is what legalism is) or because they love Him and want to do what they believe the Father is calling them to do. Who are we to judge a woman for convering her hair and saying she is in bondage to legalism?
Thank you. Powerful yet gentle words of truth.
My Mum thought I was crazy for not liking my future wife to not wear make up.
He's right, i used to like a muslim girl, she started wrapping hair. After, she felt off limits to me in my spirit
I agree. I'm a man and I always notice the hair, the fingernails, and makeup. I get weak when a woman with nice feet shows her painted toes, too. I don't judge them because I love every soul, but it's a struggle for me.
Right on Paul. I agree 100% a modest woman is absolutely attractive vs a woman who is not...
The scripture says a woman should cover her HEAD, not her hair, WHEN she PRAYS or PROPHESIES.
The purpose is not a modesty issue but, to show she's under the authority of a HUSBAND.
It was talking about public prayer in congregation because God is to receive all the glory.
Where does The Scripture say that a woman should cover her head with a piece of cloth? Does it not say that the husband is the head of a women, not a piece of cloth?

I’m a part time hijabi lol. Covering my head makes me feel…, well coverd lol. It’s so hard to dress immodest when wearing a head covering. It just doesn’t feel or look right. It’s also a gentle reminder that Holy Spirit is on, with, and in me.. always. I’m so glade we have this choice
I relate to your comment. I felt the Holy Spirit say to me last week, “Dress as if you would be standing in front of the Lord. How would you feel if you had to stand before the Lord at any moment?” I immediately had an image in my mind of standing in the presence of the Lord and I felt naked and exposed without a head covering.
I definitely agree with you on the treatment towards women from men when they cover their hair!
In the part about the make-up, I recalled a female comedian named Rita Rudner who said that she would wait until her husband went to sleep before taking her make-up off and wake up earlier than him to put it on, and then said she was exhausted, but she was beautiful. One night, her husband woke up from a bad dream and she asked him if he was alright. He looked at her and said, "Who are you?"
I remember that joke! 😅
This is very helpful for everyone who believes head covering is the way to go - highly informative for Jews, Christians, & Muslims alike! You made a lot of great points. Thank you!
i enjoy meeting women of other faiths who practice headcovering.
Wow the sexy aspect is something I never knew, thank you so much for making this
Very informative! I have started to wear a headcovering after studying 1 Corinthians 11
Jesus orders Christians to follow the Law of Moses in the Old Testament: "Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18)" It is quite clear from these verses from the New Testament that Jesus peace be upon him did honor the Old Testament and did say that every single "letter" of it has to be honored, followed and fulfilled.
You don't need to say Peace Be Upon Him for our Lord, Jesus, for He is not dead. Muslims only say that about Mohammad and other prophets because they fear he may not have ended up in Heaven. We know Jesus did, and was ressurected.
I believe that when Paul talked about women covering their head he was speaking to Jewish converts who already knew about the head covering teaching from the Hebrew scriptures. There is no excuse for being uncovered.

That does not seem logical especially since the word veil is never mentioned. Unless that is not what Paul is meaning but rather that if the woman was not covered in long hair (meaning her hair is short) doing something holy or godly LIKE praying or prophesying. I think most people can relate that looking at a woman with short hair does have an unappealing appearance. It naturally provokes head turns. And if there was any question Paul flat out states what he was talking about in verse 15.
So the facts are that there no nouns to use as evidence of a veil. There is evidence that Paul was using praying and prophesying as examples. Paul appeals to nature and something innate within us to judge that being uncovered or covered (meaning having short hair or long hair) should be obvious to all. So this cannot make sense with a manufactured veil.
I absolutely loved your message...
I was convicted by Ruach HaKodesh to wear a head covering. Just like Paul said pray and be led and I know that I know your husband will come in and confirm what Elohim says. Amien
Who is Rusch HaKodesh?
Ladies, I'll definitely second what Paul is saying here. I'm in Torah for about 6 months now but I was convicted about headcovering while in New Age! It was the craziest thing and I combed the Internet to try to find justification for NOT giving in to obedience. (and my daughter is a hair stylist in a up-scale salon so this made it extra hard). Now, I can't imagine going out in public without a covering. I use different ones--from scarves to tichels to very traditional prayer kapps. TRY IT!!!
...I have wore head coverings but I always felt I was exulting my self "like a crown to draw attention to myself" ...like look at the gal with her scarf on her head...many commented it was very nice...
to my knowledge, at the time I wasnt looking for attention but was supposedly dressing in a more hebreic way, which was/ is a custom in very hot and sandy, dusty regions to keep there hair nice and clean longer you kept it covered....
my future husband, say my long flowing hair, caught his eyes.
Wonderful video. ..I love head covering.
But if it's biblical should we ignore it?
I am conflicted as I am single. I'm sometimes afraid that a man who might like need will think I'm married and woukd think making conversation would be perceived by me as disrespectful. I've been covering again. I used to then not then again then not now again like I said conflicted. I do notice men do keep a distance when I wear one. Not like I want all these men to like come to me in look at me in like an undesired way but I'd love to eventually meet someone ...
I love covering my head. I do it in the house of worship and at home when I pray. I don't at work or school for thw most part.
ima new christian ... anyway i heard that you shouldn't pray with your head covered.
MrFreak0r Men shouldn't pray with their head covered. Read 1st Corinthians11 : 2-10. Women are encouraged to wear a head covering.
Ericachild ah ok thanks, i just started reading the bible a month ago, haven't gotten to that part yet ;)
I would like to add my two cents here after reading this discussion. First of all I believe we should follow the teaching in 1st Corinthians 11. The main problem here is the misunderstanding of 1st Corinthians 11 altogether. I also have made an intense study of this passage, and the obvious conclusion is that Paul was referring to long hair being the covering.
The first thing one should take notice is the lack of wording required to conclude that a veil is being referred to here. The word veil or cloth is not in the text if we read from the King James version. If you read from the “modern” versions then you might get that view but not from the Textus Receptus.
I would like for you to reread the verses that allegedly refer to a veil which is 4-7 and 13. In those verses we read the words, cover, uncovered and not covered. According to scholars these are used as adverbs. Like if you were to say I am going to cover my feet. No one should be thinking of a veil just the action of being covered. What is missing in these verses are nouns that would prove the idea of veils. Since we should not be assuming anything we should be asking the question what is the thing that a woman should be covered WITH based on the passage ALONE? So if you do the math you would find that Paul refers to hair directly 3 times and then indirectly 4 times with the words shorn and shaven. So if there is no noun for the word veil or cloth yet there are 7 instances of idea of hair, then what are we to conclude? That Paul is referring to hair whether it be short or long.
But the counterargument would be that Paul is allegedly telling women to put something on. But that is not exactly true it says a woman should be covered, but he is referring to long hair based on the surrounding verses. But what about that a woman ought to be covered when praying or prophesying? The assumption is a that Paul was referring to only two instances which is not true he was merely giving us two examples. This also applies to men about being uncovered. Evidence of this is written in the forgoing verses. Paul writes that men ought not to cover because he is the image and glory of God. And then Paul goes into how woman was made for man and is the glory of the man. So it would seem that man shouldn’t be covered at any time if he is the glory and image of God. Paul also mentions that the mere observation of a praying woman should make us note how uncomely (unappealing in appearance) for a woman to be uncovered. Paul states this in a way that it should be obvious to anyone that she looks off in verse 13. He does this again in verse 14 about how shameful it looks if a man has long hair. He says it this way…
Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? KJV
So this judgement that we should make is exclusively based on observation of an “uncovered” woman as well as a long haired man. Two consecutive questions both appealing to something innate or within us. Paul is in essence saying that it should be obvious to see that something is wrong or off.
So how is it that for the women we are somehow to know within us that a woman would be unappealing in appearance without a manufactured veil? That does not seem logical especially since the word veil is never mentioned. Unless that is not what Paul is meaning but rather that if the woman was not covered in long hair (meaning her hair is short) doing something holy or godly LIKE praying or prophesying.

Paul appeals to nature and something innate within us to judge that being uncovered or covered (meaning having short hair or long hair) should be obvious to all. So this cannot make sense with a manufactured veil.
Search RUclips on how to wear the tichel. You can look like a beautiful queen without looking like anything at all. :)
When I was a young adult in the early 60s, I had rejected religion, and the Bible. But sometimes I would drop into a local Roman Catholic Cathedral. Just because of its grandeur and beauty inside. I would cover my head there.
But then I was told that both protestants and Catholics no longer required for women’s heads to be covered before entering a church. It was a strange thing to me that when I heard that the rules had been changed, I felt this conviction, strongly, that the change was wrong. That was very odd since I really didn’t care one way or another.
Years later I did finally come to the Lord, eventually to Hebrew Roots. Though I never met anyone personally, who ever even thought about head coverings, anywhere, including with Hebrew Roots, online I did see that some HR women were promoting head coverings. This Most important to me, though, is that I know I need to follow that conviction given to me by the Almighty, even if it took me decades to catch on.
The way you explain things makes sense . I have had long hair all my life and had many men comment on it or want to touch it . I braid it now but I am being lead to start covering . You are right .
Hmmm. I thought head coverings were more for the angels. So the fallen angels know that the women is taken by The Most High Creator. I agree about make up. It's not that hard to be modest.
When speaking of women, please speak regarding married and single women.
Great information.
Thank you.
You have a beautiful heart Sister. Just pray about it and have an open mind.
I'm not married but when I cover my hair even if it's a tichel or a wig I'm doing it for me and most importantly for Heshem. It makes me closer and passionate. Shalom
Alhamdullilah. Thank you for posting this. :)
So why would He mention the shaving of hair, if covering of the physical head wasnt the point. Sure there is nothing directly gained from the covering of the head, but the act itself has an affect in the soul and therefore the spirit. It is not causality but when done with the right heart it invites a growth of the soul into his spirit.
Because in Corinth, the prostitutes and the women who committed adultery would shave their heads. Slaves also had their heads shaved. It was a sign of shame... That was the point of that verse.
Me n my mate enjoy our private intimate life..only he gets to see my full beauty in the privacy of our home ..dressing modest and covering my head is so sacred to us both...we want to please God and in each other's hearts...not to please the world!
I love to cover my head, I make clothes with head covering IE hoodies attached! But I do not always "engage" the hoodie! But this is certainly not an issue to be legalistic over. I think men should look away if they are having lustful thoughts, and women should not purposely entice men either.
While listning and watching beautiful place..
I remembered about Jezebel, not beauty for attention but beauty in holiness, worshiping in the beauty of holiness..
What a great teaching. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this subject. It’s really an interesting concept to me to wear a head covering. It definitely makes you feel a certain way…and set apart. It also feels strange to me because the only example I’ve had is the Muslim community and I’ve always associated it w Muslim women who are often portrayed as being treated so poorly? Also, I have short hair so I don’t fall into the category of the long flowing hair woman that distracts men? What are your thoughts on short haired women or is it a sin to have short hair as a woman? I’ve never researched that?
I think it would be a blessing and a gift to your husband if he was the only man to see your hair. Also you should always be in prayer and the word says her head should be covered when she is praying. But I say try it for a week or a month with no plans to continue and just see how you feel and decide after that what you would like to do. Look at my video called "The Modesty Experiment"
In Christianity the 'covering' is the hair. I post on this
a lot. Reply for much more if desired Robin.
Also, I would urge to contemplate the tabernacle. If God can cover his glory, who am I not to cover mine? ;) (1 Cor 11:15) Seriously, I think of it as that enclosure that the tabernacle was in. It's our protection.
Beautiful.
thank you for letting us know how you feel but no where in the Torah does it say it is a command. I agree it is best and symbolism of 1 cor. 11 talks about but it is not a command. Shalom
I was told in America that covering my head will repel men and I will never get a husband. I cover up and typically Muslim men confront me.
I appreciate this video. ❤
I don't wear a head covering, but I always go out in public with my hair up in a ponytail. I've done this all my adult life. Even before I was in a Messonianic Judium Religion.
What do you have to say about tzitzit for women?
"When the command was given it was given to the "children" of Yisrael. Yet, the word "ben"(usually used as male, "son of") is used in the text. But it is also used in various commands given to Israel which we know weren't only for men."
+Adi Rodriguez
I am also a woman, and I wear Tzyiot.
I notice the title of this includes the word, "should." Why didn't you use "could?"
I am a 59 year old women who pretty much wears a head covering all the time they won't let me wear a regular one at work so I wear a headband it's not exactly head covering but it's symbolic enough to me to be a representation of a proper head covering I appreciate your honesty saying how men think how they look at women when women present themselves a certain way these women prance around and they get attention from the type of man that they want but also the type of man that they don't want and then they complain about it they dress themselves and very sexual and revealing manners and then don't expect the men to react away men to their like well I can dress this way you just have to get used to it. Is it any wonder that the Islamic culture tells women to wear burkas and hijabs?
what about single women???
this was so much confirmation thank you!
Great video. You mentioned wearing hair up to be modest. Do you think a simple braid from the back of the head down can be modest?
absolutely love this. i don't agree with wearing a head covering, but other than that i agree. I don't wear make up, I wear skirts past the knee, and shirts with sleeves. I have read 1 Cor 11 and it specifically says we are to have long hair (and when studied deeper, it means "uncut hair") it also says if women prays with her head uncovered she may as well have her hair shaved off. a) why mention the hair if it's about a head piece? and b) we are to pray without ceasing. (running out of room)
AMEN. Very Well Said. However.... 1st Corinthians 11:5-6 states "if a woman have Long Hair it is given her for a covering, if a woman be shaven or shorn let her be covered, (nature itself teaches us its a shame for a woman to be shaven and for a man to have long hair) A woman's long hair IS her Covering and she need not cover her head.
Ahhh! You're reading and recording while driving! Lol!
He may get a ticket.
A woman's hair is her "glory"! If you choose to cover your "glory" so be it on to you! If you choose to not cover your glory fine! Do all things as unto the Lord and you will be fine ladies!
Appreciate your frankness and clarity!
IF a man can not look upon a women who was given long hair as her covering by GOD, without lusting after her. THEN THE MAN needs to turn to Jesus and ask for help to not lust, thats HIS issue he needs to work out w God. Men are to respect and protect women, not lust after them. If a Woman is using her Hair or any part of her body to entice a man, then SHE needs to repent, for that is also lust. We should be Righteous under God, Through the Mercy and Grace of Jesus, having mutual respect for each other under ONE MASTER. His Law willbe wrote on our Hearts, and we will know through our submittance to Gods Will, IF we are doing anything for the wrong reason. God Bless, and TRUST JESUS ONLY, He will try the reins of your heart and perfect you to His Will, and JESUS NEVER FAILS.
All I can say is when I began headcovering so many things changed and it is very true that men and women both treated me differently, with more respect. Later in the 1 Cor. passage is says to cover because of the angels. Immediately I had less tormented thoughts, and it was like the unseen world recognized who I was, and prompted others, especially men to treat me with more respect.
If someone in your family was dealing with alcoholism would you have a drink in front of them and tell they to just deal with their temptation because that is their own problem? No. Because you love your family you will help them not to be tempted to the best of your ability because you want to preserve their life. It is the same in the Christian family. Your way of thinking is very selfish. In the kingdom of God we are here to serve. If it will not hurt you to cover up, then why not if it is for a good cause? Check your heart
New here.... What about single women and daughters in the home? Should they wear Coverings also. Or is it only for the married?
Paul does not say that hair is seductive he just talks about the sign of authority and the angels women also have beautiful eyes that can attract a man
shall we walk around with blindfolders also because we have natural beautiful eyes that can attract someone?
anyone can cover their heads and have a seductive spirit
"Anyone can cover their head and have a seductive spirit" Yes, true, but just because that may be true, does not mean we should not do it. In our zeal to remove ourselves from hypocritical behavior, it seems we have run from any outward expression of our beliefs and convictions. I cannot effect someone else's motives, perhaps, but I can let God govern my own, and then obey with joy. If I am mis-judged, that is sad, but I can't live worried about the inner judgements of others or even their expressed judgements of me. God and His amazing Word are my gentle, loving Judge. I love Him. I try to do what He convicts me to do. And it's my joy to do do. Blessings to you.
also, I really admire that you spoke out against the men who make their wives dress sexy in public just to show her off as a trophy. feminists are angry at sexual objectification but also angry at covering. which is really annoying so I turned away from feminism and just focussed on important issues. my secular view of head covering is that it's a nice thing and it shouldn't be a religious thing, it should be a human thing.
I been looking for u for EVER thank u God for bringing u back to my life again thank u
I am curious if your wife wears a head covering Paul Nison?
No because he's divorced.
I admire what you've said, I don't have any religion but I admire the religious women who can look beautiful while covered. I also love how you're not one of those hypocrite religious men who wear singlets and tell women to b modest, you're modest yourself. you wear full long sleeves, you even cover your head and have grown a beard. you also don't shame women into covering, you allow them the choice, you just give advice. if head covering wasn't religious I'd do it. but I'm secular. thank you!
Don't you think that when Paul writes about the covering of a woman's head he means the husband, not a piece of cloth?
What about when you're not married? What about an unmarried woman does she have to wear it covering?
You say only a husband should see your hair, what if someone isn't married yet.
On the other hand, I am fairly certain that men do not find flowers sexual attractive.
Everything can be modest. it all depends how a person wears it but hair pinned up or covered would be the safest way.
What about men's hair length?
I know that Paul also mentions that a man shouldn't have hair because he says " according to nature", But I think this is funny because according to nature a man's hair will be long unless he went to get it cut!
Do you think that it's wrong for a man to have long hair? In our society men can have long hair and still not be mistaken for a woman because they can still dress masculine and be a good follower of Jesus.
Also, if a woman has very short hair, should she still cover her hair?
Not every woman wants to have very long hair or sometimes women can't grow very long hair.
If a woman decides to have a pixie haircut or a shaved head or something like that, or if she has natural hair loss, should she still cover her hair for other reasons other than to deter a man's sexual attraction?
Is there another reason for a woman to cover her head other than so that men won't covet her?
What does Ezekiel 13;18 mean in ref. to head coverings?
I would like to be clear, i have no problem with hair being up, i just don't see the necessity of it being up all the time as a modest issue. as you said, it's more of a modest thing in all areas, so i believe if we can be modest in everything else, then our hair being down won't really make it immodest. however, i have seen women with long hair, and not be modest in other areas. that shows they are not the child of God, especially if it's an immodest attitude.
I agree with you. Neck is nice looking and shape of body as well. This is why muslim women must cover everything in loose clothing except for the face (ears covered) and hands. A man is suppose to lower his gaze and prevent himself from admiring women. When a muslim man doesnt look a woman in the eyes is respect for her As a man you should ask yourself how many times you unintentionally admired the woman who was helping you at a shop or an attractive coworker you needed to discuss something with
So what about if you don't care because you don't have a husband and you like having your head uncovered ,why is that so wrong?
Thank you for this excellent instruction !
All this is none sense Christ is the fulfilment of the Jewish law so why are you feeling the need for the Torah? The female head covering is to be used when a woman is praying or prophesying as for anything else you are do what the bible forbids that is adding to it for your own ends
I see where people can be drawn to hair although the hips ,breast and how she moves play a much larger roll all the way around.
Think God for women and the beauty given them by our Creator.
The woman is sinning if she doesn't cover her head. Make-up is a form of sorcery. It's not of God. He made you in his image. Look up Jinno Jennings. He's a pastor who tells it like it is. I'm learning & I just thought I'd share. God bless.
What kind of head covering should we wear? Is a bonnet and head wrap different?
scarves. Come see my videos. I wear them in my videos.
Thank you brother I have been following your teachings and you have inspired me so much, pastors don't preach this in the church nowadays which is leading many souls to hell
Does your wife cover her hair? The only picture I saw she didn't.
Could you maybe have a video with women giving tips on how they do their hair modestly without a covering?
People of different ethnicities have different types of hair. Some have thick hair, thin hair, curly, wavy, straight, etc. If someone's hair is thick or curly, pinning it up either knots it or gets too heavy. Practical tips from women on modest hairstyles would really help.
I'm all for modesty, but I don't go the covering / hijab route. I stick to Torah. Deut 4:2. Yah bless.
Why do you call it the renewed covenant? Jeremiah calls it a new covenant, was Jeremiah wrong?
Hey Paul; since this video is about modesty I wanted to share a thought that's been on my mind for some days now. I've come across many verses in the Tanach that mention nose-rings: Gen 24:47, Ezek 16:12, Prov 11:22, Pro 25:12... What do you think about this in a biblical perspective? By the way, I don't think that this is like tattoos, since they are a permanent thing, mark the skin and are not mentioned in the scriptures.
Oh and Paul must've been talking second cover to pray and prophesy because if our hair was it he wouldn't stipulate to cover for these two events cuz we wld always be covered
pray publicly
Thank you sir for posting this. Very useful
I understand it is a sign of modesty if your married as a woman. A sign that you are "Taken".
including maidens? Ribqah covered her head once she saw Yitzhaq, and became his. Do virgins need to cover their head at all times? Just when praying?
public prayer and public holy meetings ie congregation
I am a Torah keeper, I used to wear a head covering, it is not biblical. A woman cuts and styles her hair to look thinner and beautiful, long hair is flat and cannot style it like styled hair.
1Co 11:15 But if an isha wears a long hairdo of a lady's coiffure, it is her kavod (SHIR HASHIRIM 4:1)? Because the long hair has been given to her instead of the sterntichel (kerchief) or kesut rosh (head covering).
she was to cover her glory at public prayer and other congregational meetings where people gathered under religious pretense. God was to have all the glory which is why she was to cover it at religious meetings.
The Bible has contradictions. In John 3:16 the Bible says that God loves everyone with a saving love while other verses says that he only loves the elect with a saving love.
The Bible never says that. God's Word says that nothing shall ever separate us from the love of God. God's Word says that God loves us with an everlasting love. God Word says that God showed his great love for us by sending Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. God loves everyone. Not everyone loves God. A person shows that they love God by keeping His commandments. I
shaloam love your video .I too wear a head cover and it is commanded in scripture and plus I want to be obedient to my YAH. ladies if you see this video this young man is only teaching scripture. stop the bad criticism. 🤔
Thank you Jackie and Amen!
I was raised on both the Muslim and Christian side. I have a great respect for the muslim people. I have a great respect for the deen that I was raised with but I have a belief in the christen belief system. My beliefs are with being a christian. But the muslim ways of dress with their women is wonderful. I what to wear a "hijab" and "abaya" but I dont want to be considered Muslim...what can I do to cover and not be associate with being a Muslim?
I love your comment and I feel exactly the same way! I have been doing lots of research on Islam and you might be surprised to learn that it was developed more than 600 years after the Gospel and lifetime of Christ. The Torah and Gospel were in popular circulation at the time and the ‘Islamic’ mode of dress for women was actually taken from the Jewish customs for women’s modesty. Look at depictions of Jesus’ mother Mary. She was a Jewish woman and, also a believer in Jesus messiah and saviour of humanity. My point is that Christian women can educate themselves on history and scripture, empowering themselves and reclaiming our mode of dress, so to speak. I have been dressing like a ‘hijabi’ and, whether people think I’m a Muslim or not is none of my business. But I have had people compliment my style recently and, if given the opportunity, I am excited to share with them that I am a follower of Christ and also following CHRISTIAN modesty. Let’s take it as an opportunity to educate people on the Word of God. My future family in law has many Muslim people and it’s a great opportunity to teach them that the history of modest dress is from our Lord YHWH and the Biblical scripture. Muslims judge Christianity based on what they see in public, they assume everyone in a western country is Christian, with the exception of multiculturalism, of course. So let’s show them the truth that modesty was a concept implemented by our God and they got the idea from us 😊
what does Galations 3:28 mean in application of the body of messiah.
I am a fully covered Muslim woman... Proud of doing what Allah tells us to do.
what if the husband does not behave holy at all? Would the woman still need to feel convicted? how should the woman feel if she covers but he is disobedient to God? I am not trying to be rude but want to know what you think.
@@reflectionsinthebible3579 1 Peter 3: Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
we are expected to set an example, even to ungodly husbands.
"I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me... Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am... I Am the Bread of Life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst... I Am the Door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture... Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it... I Am the Good Shepherd: the Good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I Am the Good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and Am known of Mine. As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one fold, and one Shepherd. Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father... My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are One... I Am the Resurrection, and the Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?.. I Am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of life... And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the Light, neither cometh to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God... Ye must be born again... Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit... If ye believe not that I Am He, ye shall die in your sins... If any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple... Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death, And shall deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify Him: and the third day He shall rise again... And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God... All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out... No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me... Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I Am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls... Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My Father... As thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given Him... And this is the will of Him that sent Me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day... Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also... Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder... Hearken unto Me every one of you, and understand: There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear... Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man... Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire... Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart... For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?.. Repent ye, and believe the Gospel...I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish... I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I Am He, ye shall die in your sins... I Am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I Am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death... I Am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last... I Am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." - The Lord Jesus Christ
