First letter to the Corinthians 14:34

[Out of context, the following verses seem to contradict that women can pray and prophesy, as Paul just wrote in 1 Cor. 11:5. In the church in Corinth, there was, among others, the married couple Priscilla and Aquila, with whom Paul had stayed for eight months, see Acts 18:2. His wife, Priscilla, is involved in teaching Apollos, see Acts 18:26. Is he now rebuking her and saying that no woman may speak in worship? Was it wrong of Mary Magdalene to tell the disciples that Jesus had risen, as he had instructed her to do, see John 20:17? Looking at the context, Paul here addresses three different groups that disrupted the order of worship:
1. Prophets (both men and women) are urged not to speak over one another but to be silent, see verse 30.
2. Speakers in tongues, both men and women, are urged to be silent if there is no one who can interpret, see verse 28.
3. A group of married women, who probably asked questions and disrupted the service, are urged not to do so. Since they were to ask their husbands at home, the reason was not disinterest, but rather the opposite. Perhaps they did not understand Greek and asked about the meaning of the words. Corinth was a multicultural city where many different languages were spoken.
All three of these groups should be silent and not disturb the service.]
Women should be silent in your assemblies. They are not to speak [chat and disturb during the service]
but are to be in subjection [to the leader of the meeting],
as the law (the teaching system – Gk. nomos) also says.
