Bible Note: Greetings There! I would have to disagree with your analysis of 'laleo.' 'Laleo' is used 296 times in the New Testament. If you look at the verses where it is used, the basic difference between it and 'lego' appears to be that 'laleo' refers more to the act of speaking than to the content, while 'lego' is usually followed by the context of what was actually said. Thus, I would say that your interpretation is making a bit much of the meaning of 'laleo.' I don't disagree with your interpretation, just the emphasis on 'laleo.' I think your basic approach is right that Paul was concerned with a disruption caused by the wives in the service! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
