1 Corinthians 14:33-36
English Standard Version
33 For God is not a God of (A)confusion but of peace.
As in (B)all the churches of the saints, 34 (C)the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but (D)should be in submission, as (E)the Law also says. 35 If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.
36 Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached?

1 Corinthians 14:33-36
International Standard Version
33 for God[a] is not a God of disorder but of peace.
As[b] in all the churches of the saints, 34 the women must keep silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak out, but must place themselves in submission, as the oral[c] law also says. 35 If they want to learn anything, they should ask their own husbands at home, for it is inappropriate for a woman to speak out in church.[d]
36 Did God’s word originate with you? Are you the only ones[e] it has reached?
