1 Corinthians 14:33-37

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³³ For He [Who is the source of their prophesying] is not a God of confusion and disorder but of peace and order. As [is the practice] in all the churches of the saints (God’s people),

³⁴ The women should keep quiet in the churches, for they are not authorized to speak, but should take a secondary and subordinate place, just as the Law also says.^(A)

³⁵ But if there is anything they want to learn, they should ask their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to talk in church [^[a]for her to usurp and exercise authority over men in the church].

³⁶ What! Did the word of the Lord originate with you [Corinthians], or has it reached only you?

³⁷ If anyone thinks and claims that he is a prophet [filled with and governed by the Holy Spirit of God and inspired to interpret the divine will and purpose in preaching or teaching] or has any other spiritual endowment, let him understand (recognize and acknowledge) that what I am writing to you is a command of the Lord.
