What does the Bible say about women speaking in church?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible instructs women to keep silent in churches and be under obedience to men, according to 1 Corinthians 14:34-35.

In 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, Paul commands that women should keep silence in the churches, emphasizing that it is not permitted for them to speak. This directive aligns with the spiritual principle that governs the relationship between Christ and His church, wherein women are to be in subjection to men during public worship. It is important to understand that this does not silence women in all capacities; they can teach children and speak in less formal settings. The emphasis here is on the proper order within the church service, which glorifies Christ.
