1 Corinthians 14:34-40

34the women must keep silent. They don’t have the right to speak. They must take their place as Moses’ Teachings say.

35If they want to know anything they should ask their husbands at home. It’s shameful for a woman to speak in church.

36Did God’s word originate with you? Are you the only ones it has reached?

37Whoever thinks that he speaks for God or that he is spiritually gifted must acknowledge that what I write to you is what the Lord commands.

38But whoever ignores what I write should be ignored.

39So, brothers and sisters, desire to speak what God has revealed, and don’t keep anyone from speaking in other languages.

40Everything must be done in a proper and orderly way.
