1 Corinthians 14:34 in context

  1. 32and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets;
  2. 33for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,
  3. 34let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law.
  4. 35And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church.
  5. 36What? was it from you that the word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone?
