For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;

I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold,(I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
