1 Corinthians 14:34-40 ▼

34 The women are to keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says.

35 But if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.

36 Was it from you that the word of God first went forth? Or has it arrived to you only?

37 If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord’s commandment.

38 But if anyone remains ignorant about this, he is ignored by God.

39 Therefore, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues.

40 But all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner.
