1 Corinthians 14:34

Expanded Bible

³⁴ ·women [or wives] should keep quiet in the ·church meetings [churches; assemblies; ^Cthe context here may be the evaluation of prophecy (v. 29), rather than general worship (where women presumably could speak; see 11:2–16)]. [^LFor] They are not allowed to speak, but they must ·yield to this rule [or be in submission; or keep their ordered place] as the law says [^Cperhaps Gen. 3:16, or a nonbiblical Jewish tradition].
