4 passages from patristic writers, Reformers, and church catechisms citing this verse.
The Apostle Paul doth plainly say: I suffer not a woman to teach, neither to usurp authority above the man. And again, in the same epistle, he commands women to be silent in the congregation. If women may not teach in the congregation, much less ought they to rule over realms and nations.
