Bible Note: The "Law" referred to in 1 Corinthians 14:34 is Gen. 3:16. "...Yet your desire and craving will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." AMPLIFIED Genesis 3:16 To the woman He said, I will greatly multiply your grief and your suffering in pregnancy and the pangs of childbearing; with spasms of distress you will bring forth children. Yet your desire and craving will be for your husband, and he will rule over you. In reference to 1 Cor 14:34 she writes: "Find this law in the Pentateuch. I've tried and can't even find any reference to it." AMPLIFIED 1 Corinthians 14:34 The women should keep quiet in the churches, for they are not authorized to speak, but should take a secondary and subordinate place, just as the Law also says. [Gen. 3:16.] The Pentateuch (the five books of Moses) is generally referred to as "the Law." The "Law" referred to in 1 Corinthians 14:34 is Gen. 3:16. 'It should also be noticed that the title "the Law" is occasionally used loosely to refer to the whole of the Old Testament,' (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/SmithsBibleDictionary/). Matthew 22:40 '*all the Law and the Prophets.* I.e., the whole old Testament' (MacArthur Study Bible). In Matthew 5:17 and elsewhere, '"The Law and the Prophets" speaks of the entirety of the OT Scriptures...' (MacArthur Study Bible). 'John 10:34 *written in your law. I.e., in Ps. 82:6. The term 'law' was sometimes applied to the entire Old Testament' (Ryrie Study Bible). John 15:25 (ESV) But the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: 'They hated me without a cause.' 'The reference [to "their law"] is to Ps. 35:19' (Ryrie Study Bible). 1 Cor. 14:21 (ESV) In the Law it is written, "By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord." Here 'the Law' is a reference to Isaiah 28:11,12. ------------- While we are bashing Paul, let's not forget to bash God. Because it is the LORD God who said: "...Yet your desire and craving will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." Gen. 3:16. Paul was merely alluding to what the LORD God had already said. |
