1 Corinthians 14:34-36
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
34 let the women be silent[a] in the churches. For it is not permitted for them to speak[b]. But let them be subject, just as the Law also says[c]. 35 And if they want to learn anything, let them question their own husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

General talking and asking questions is in view. Others think women prayed and prophesied elsewhere, subordinating 11:4-5 to this verse, meaning Paul is forbidding all speaking in church by women.
- 1 Corinthians 14:34 Or, talk. That is, speak out of order, as with the prophets and tongue-speakers; or, speak at all.
