Constituent order Constituent order The frequent use of masculine nouns such as hEKASTOS, hEIS, hEAUTWi, ALLWi,DIERMHNEUTHS etc. in 1 Cor. 14:26-33, which deals with speaking in thechurchmeetings, together with the fact that in vers 34-35 women are said torefrain from speaking in the churchmeetings, provide a valid argument forthe thesis that in 1 Cor 14:26-33 men are meant or thought of. In otherwords, 1 Cor 14:34-35 provides a reason for taking those nouns asnon-generic, that is, as referring to men only.Carl W. Conrad has given me his opinion on this matter. I would like to hearother optinions and arguments.Regards,Kees Langeveld, Bennekom, Netherlands

The issue would be whether or not the writerhas developed a context wherein non-generic or generic usagescan function.If you hold to a non-generic use in vss 26-33, you would have todemonstrate that verses 34ff are a PART OF that section.My thoughts,Mark Wilson_________________________________________________________________Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

To me, vs 36reads like a strong reaction against a statement made by theCorinthians. If I assume Paul is saying, “in your meetings, men shoulddo this, women should do that,” I’m left with the feeling that 36 comesout of nowhere. To get the effect read 26-35 in a calm voice out loudand then, with an angry voice, read 36-38. Notice how it just doesn’tflow. And also note that the emotion really is there (at least I thinkit is) in the text itself.To that end, I currently take 33b-35 as a quote from the letter fromCorinth to Paul. Paul reacts to that statement in 36-38. And this isconsistent with taking the masculines in 26-33a as generic as CarltonWinbery suggests.There’s many issues here. I am only seeking to help people make aninformed evaluation though my information may be wrong.

Link Hudson
When ir comes to women prophesying, Paul mentions that in I Corinthians 11. Acts mentions it–your sons and daughters shall propesy: Philip’s daughters prophesied.
Paul seems to indicate the commandments of the Lord were in line with the practice of the Jerusalem church–what came the word out from among you or unto you only has it come. The Jerusalrem church allowed members of the congregation to speak and had prophets.
what ir or what if? There is no what if with Paul
Troy Day that “when ir” was “when it”
my gift of interpretation was NOT working then
Link Hudson when the Spirit of God speaks He makes no difference Have you not heard of the great prophecies come by the way of children?
