1 Corinthians

1 Corinthians 14:33–36

33For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace— as in all the churches of the saints.d

34Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.e

36Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only ones it has reached?
