The womenare to keep silentin the churches;for they are not permittedto speak,but are to subjectthemselves, justas the Lawalsosays.
To the womanHe said,"I will greatlymultiplyYour painin childbirth,In painyou will bringforthchildren;Yet your desirewill be for your husband,And he will ruleover you."
Judgefor yourselves:is it properfor a womanto prayto God[with her head] uncovered?
But I wantyou to understandthat Christis the headof everyman,and the manis the headof a woman,and Godis the headof Christ.
But everywomanwho has her headuncoveredwhile prayingorprophesyingdisgracesher head,for she is oneand the sameas the womanwhose head is shaved.
In the Lawit is written,"BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUESAND BY THE LIPSOF STRANGERSI WILL SPEAKTO THISPEOPLE,AND EVENSOTHEY WILL NOT LISTENTO ME," saysthe Lord.
Ifthey desireto learnanything,let them asktheir ownhusbandsat home;for it is improperfor a womanto speakin church.
Nevertheless,eachindividualamong you alsois to lovehis ownwifeeven as himself,and the wifemust [see to it] that she respectsher husband.
Wives,be subjectto your husbands,as is fittingin the Lord.
[to be] sensible,pure,workers at home,kind,being subjectto their ownhusbands,sothat the wordof Godwill not be dishonored.
