1 Corinthians 11:16

But if anyone wants to argue about it. Paul says this to the false teacher and his party. They argued that Christian freedom allowed the women who prayed and spoke God's message in public worship to do this without wearing the face-veil. John Wesley writes: "The several churches that were in the apostles' time had different customs in things that were not essential; and that under one and the same apostle, as circumstances, in different places, made it convenient. And in all things merely indifferent the custom of each place was of sufficient weight to determine prudent and peaceable men. Yet even this cannot overrule a scrupulous conscience, which really doubts whether the thing be indifferent or not. But those who are referred to here by the apostle were contentious, not conscientious, persons."
