Contradiction with 1 Timothy 2:12
This verse contradicts 1 Corinthians 11:13 by restricting a woman's role in teaching and having authority over a man, whereas 1 Corinthians 11:13 invites a woman to judge for herself if it is proper to pray uncovered.
1 Timothy 2:12: But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
Contradiction with Galatians 3:28
This verse contradicts 1 Corinthians 11:13 by stating there is neither male nor female, for all are one in Christ Jesus, which challenges the gender-specific instruction regarding praying with head covering.
Galatians 3:28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
This verse advises not to judge, conflicting with 1 Corinthians 11:13, which asks individuals to judge for themselves regarding customs and propriety.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with Acts 10:34-35

Acts 10:34-35: Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Paradox #1
1 Corinthians 11:13 discusses customs related to women covering their heads. The contradiction could be the difference between ancient cultural practices and modern views on gender roles and equality. In ancient times, head coverings were a sign of modesty and respect, but in many cultures today, they are not seen as necessary. This can create a conflict between historical religious customs and contemporary societal norms.
