If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.
Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him,
For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head.
the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.
