First letter to the Corinthians 14:36

Did the word of God originate with you,
or did it come only to you?
[It is unclear which law/teaching Paul is referring to in verse 34. Normally, this Greek word nomos refers to the Torah (the five books of Moses) or the entire Old Testament (see 1 Cor. 14:21). However, there is no law that says women should be silent. On the contrary, in Ps. 68:12 it says: "The Lord proclaims his word, and a great company of women come with the good news." Joel 2:28 also clearly states that both women and men should prophesy. Paul's instructions were clear and understood by his contemporaries. Unfortunately, we know very little about how the early Christians celebrated worship and the dress code discussed in 1 Cor. 11:2–16. It is therefore difficult for us to fully understand these words. It is therefore risky to use these verses unilaterally as a basis for arguing for or against women serving in the church. What is clear, however, is that Paul does not contradict himself and silence the female prophets and intercessors in chapter 11!]
