1 Corinthians 14:33
31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
32 The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace—as in all the churches of the saints.
34 Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.
35 If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
