1 Corinthians 14:34-38
New International Version
34 Women[a] should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak,(A) but must be in submission,(B) as the law(C) says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.[b]
36 Or did the word of God(D) originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? 37 If anyone thinks they are a prophet(E) or otherwise gifted by the Spirit,(F) let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command.(G) 38 But if anyone ignores this, they will themselves be ignored.[c]
