1 Corinthians 14:34-35

Pursue Love, Desire Gifts, and Let All Things Be Done for Edification and Order

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

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.
