THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

1 Corinthians 14:34 in context

1 Corinthians 14:31–37

For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.

The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,

for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

Selected verse

Let the wives be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to be talking except in submission, as the law also says,^†

if they desire to learn anything. “Let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a wife to be talking in the assembly.”

What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?

If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.
