John Chrysostom, on 1Cor 14:34
John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
1Cor 14:34 · Douay-Rheims
“Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith.”
On this verse:
“Further, because they supposed this to be an ornament to them, I mean their speaking in public; again he brings round the discourse to the opposite point, saying, "For it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church." That is, first he made this out from the law of God, then from common reason and our received custom; even when he was discoursing with the women about long hair, he said, "Doth not even nature herself teach you?" (1 Cor. 11:14.) And everywhere thou mayest find this to be his manner, not only from the divine Scriptures, but also from the common custom, to put them to shame.”
