1 Corinthians 14:34-40

34the women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak. Rather, let them be in submission, as in fact the law says.

35If they want to find out about something, they should ask their husbands at home, because it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.

36Did the word of God begin with you, or did it come to you alone?

37If anyone considers himself a prophet or spiritual person, he should acknowledge that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.

38If someone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.

39So then, brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid anyone from speaking in tongues.

40And do everything in a decent and orderly manner.
