Complementarianism in the Gathering

Corinthians 14:33-35

March 16, 2024 • Tim Cain • 1 Corinthians 14:33–35

Some verses are hard to understand. In I Corinthians 14:34 Paul writes that “Women should keep silent in the churches.” What does Paul mean in this verse and how does it relate to I Corinthians 11:5 where Paul seems to approve of women praying and prophesying?
