1 Corinthians 14:33-35
Living Bible
1 Corinthians 14:33-35
Living Bible
33 God is not one who likes things to be disorderly and upset. He likes harmony, and he finds it in all the other churches.
34 Women should be silent during the church meetings. They are not to take part in the discussion, for they are subordinate to men[a] as the Scriptures also declare. 35 If they have any questions to ask, let them ask their husbands at home, for it is improper for women to express their opinions in church meetings.
