The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:33-40

Concluding views. If edification was to be the rule of conduct in everything, it is plain that the prophets must govern themselves. No matter how sincere and truthful their zeal, or how honest and excellent their purpose, feelings, and even the best feelings, must be held under firm restraint. They had this power, and it was from God; for he is "not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all Churches of the saints." St. Paul directs further that "women keep silence in the Churches."... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:34-35

Women in the Church. I. WOMEN HAVE A PLACE IN THE CHURCH . Christianity exalts woman. It found her degraded; it ennobles her. In Christ there is neither male nor female ( Galatians 3:28 ). II. WOMEN HAVE MANY MINISTRIES CONNECTED WITH THE CHURCH . If excluded from some positions, how many are still open to woman! In not a few of these she is unrivalled by the other sex. If woman may not do some work, man cannot do other. Christianity has opened to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:34-35

Woman's place in Christian worship. Three points may be taken for due explanation and enforcement. I. The Eastern, Jewish, and pagan sentiments concerning the public position and relations of woman. II. The practical difficulties which arose when women were converted to Christianity, and became conscious of personal religious life, and the endowment of spiritual gifts. III. The ways in which St. Paul's teachings on this subject require to be modified in adaptation to Western... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 14:36

What? An indignant exclamation. Came the word of God out from you? Are you the authors of the Christian system, that you are to lay down rules about it? No rebuke was too strong for the pretensions of these Corinthians. Or came it unto you only? Is no one to be considered but yourselves? Have you no respect for Christian custom? end that when you were by no means the first Gentile Church in Europe ( 1 Thessalonians 1:8 )? read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 14:35

And if they will learn anything - If anything has been spoken which they do not understand; or if on any particular subject they desire more full information, let them inquire of their husbands in their own dwelling. They may there converse freely; and their inquiries will not be attended with the irregularity and disorder which would occur should they interrupt the order and solemnity of public worship.For it is a shame - It is disreputable and shameful; it is a breach of propriety. Their... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 14:36

What! came the word of God out from you? - The meaning of this is, “Is the church at Corinth the “mother church?” Was it first established; or has it been alone in sending forth the Word of God? You have adopted customs which are unusual. You have permitted women to speak in a manner unknown to other churches; see 1 Corinthians 11:16. You have admitted irregularity and confusion unknown in all the others. You have allowed many to speak at the same time, and have tolerated confusion and... read more
