Authority and submission.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35 KJV

[34] Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

[35] And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

Notice, women may speak to their husbands at home. If a woman has a better idea, or some Bible learning to share, etc., she may tell the men apart from the church gatherings. There is no prohibition of that.

1 Timothy 2:11-12 KJV

[11] Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

[12] But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

1 Corinthians 11:3 KJV

[3] But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Women are to be silent in the churches. Why? Not because they are incapable of teaching, leading, exercising authority. Surely, many or possibly even most are way more capable than all the men. That is not the concern. Rather, women are under men's authority, especially their husbands’. And they must submit to that authority.

There is a tendency and temptation for men to avoid exercising their God-given authority, and women to usurp that authority and use it over men. We see this so often nowadays. I hear men who claim to be Christians say constantly, “I have to ask the boss.”

1 Corinthians 6:9 KJV

[9] Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

The Bible’s use of “effeminate” refers to men rejecting their masculinity or adopting feminine behaviors in unbiblical ways.

Genesis 3:16-17 KJV

[16]Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

[17] And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

The “desire” mentioned in verse 16 is vague. Yet, given the context of verse 17, it apparently refers to a longing to control or have authority over the husband.
