But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.
Ye husbands, likewise dwelling with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the female as to the weaker vessel, and as to the co-heirs of the grace of life: that your prayers be not hindered.
For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him?
For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head.
Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith.
Or did the word of God come out from you? Or came it only unto you?
