Paul of Tarsus on Women

← All quotes by Paul of Tarsus

5 quotes

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

But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

Silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts.

Man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man. And man was not created for the cause of the woman, but the woman for the cause of man; and therefore ought the woman to have a power upon her head.

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak. 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.
