1 Corinthians 14:34-35, Let Your Women Keep Silence

1 Corinthians 14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

The Apostle Paul instructed that women are to keep silence in the churches. They are commanded to be under obedience, submissive to their husbands.

He explains this in 1 Timothy 2:11-15 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

The word “silence” means quietness, an absence of disorder. This is so when their husbands are present in the same assembly. [Walvoord]

May the Lord bless His Word to the strengthening of His people. Amen.
