¹¹ A woman^[a] should learn in quietness and full submission.^(A)

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]

²² Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands^(A) as you do to the Lord.^{(B) 23} For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church,^(C) his body, of which he is the Savior. ²⁴ Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands^(D) in everything.

³ But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ,^(A) and the head of the woman is man,^[a](B) and the head of Christ is God.^(C)

⁵ For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God^(A) used to adorn themselves.^(B) They submitted themselves to their own husbands, ⁶ like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord.^(C) You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
