1 Corinthians 14:35 - Adam Clarke

1 Corinthians 14:35

33 For God is not the author of¹ confusion but of peace, ^aas in all the churches of the saints.

34 ^aLet¹ your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the ^blaw also says.

35 And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.

36 Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached?

37 ^aIf anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.

For it is a shame for women to speak in the church - The Jews would not suffer a woman to read in the synagogue; though a servant or even a child, had this permission; but the apostle refers to irregular conduct, such conduct as proved that they were not under obedience, I Corinthians 14:34.
