NASB | 1 Corinthians 14:34 ¶ The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 14:34 ¶ the women should be silent in the churches, for they are not authorized to speak, but are to take a subordinate place, as the Law says. |
Subject: Women speak in church? |
Bible Note: Charis, I would much rather stand on "thus says the Lord" or "the Scripture says" than "I think." You must say that according the the Scripture cited, women should be silent after the church is called to order--that is, when the floor is opened for the speaker. There is absolutely NO Scripture anywhere to prove that women ever audibly spoke during church. If so (apparently in the case of the Corinthian saints), they were corrected. Again, I will take the Scripture over any figuring. It just is too plain on this subject. As I study older commentators, I see that they felt the exact same way. God bless. |
