33. God is not a God of confusion but a God of peace. This is the rule for all the meetings of God’s people.
34. The women should keep quiet in these church meetings. They are not allowed to speak out but should be under authority, as the Law of Moses says.

36. God’s teaching did not come from you, and you are not the only ones who have received it.
37. If you think you are a prophet or that you have a spiritual gift, you should understand that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command.
