Pray and Preach
And seeing the multitudes, He felt compassion for
them, because they were distressed and downcast
like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to
His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the
workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of
the harvest to send out workers into His
harvest." (Matt 936-38)

Adornment (kosmeo)
the templewas adorned with beautiful stones and
votive gifts (Luke 215) The foundation stones
of the city wall were adorned with every kind of
precious stone. (Rev 2119) And I saw the holy
city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven
from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her
husband. (Rev 212) And let not your adornment
be merely external-- braiding the hair, and
wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses but
let it be the hidden person of the heart, with
the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet
spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.
For in this way in former times the holy women
also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves,
being submissive to their own husbands. (1 Pet
33-5)

Let the woman learn
Jewish tradition at the time of the Second
Temple May the words of Torah be burned, than
that they should be handed over to women. Sota
10a Rabbi Eliezer says Whoever teaches his
daughter Torah teaches her obscenity. Sota 21b

Silence Not Arguing Back
And when they heard this, they quieted down, and
glorified God, saying, "Well then (Acts
1118) Webegan begging him not to go up to
Jerusalem. Then Paul answered, "What are you
doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am
ready not only to be bound, but even to die at
Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus." And
since he would not be persuaded, we fell silent,
remarking, "The will of the Lord be done!" (Acts
2112-14) Now such persons we command and exhort
in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion
and eat their own bread. (2 Thess. 312) But let
(your adornment) bea gentle and quiet spirit (1
Pet 34)

Possible Objections part 1

• Priscilla and Aquila teaching Apollos
• Argument from silence
• Not teaching with authority, simply clarifying a
  few facts
• Just Pauls personal opinion we can take it or
  leave it
• v8 Greek has sense of I command
• v12 - Same word in 1Cor 1434, to which he then
  adds just as the Law also says and the things
  which I write to you are the Lords commandment
  (v37)
• Only applies to the wives (gune)
• Does not fit context
• v8 would mean Paul could not pray (not a husband)
• v9 would imply unmarried free to dress immodestly

12
Possible Objections part 2

• Do not usurp authority OK to be given it
• Based on faulty KJV translation
• Most translations simply say have authority
• Only applies to Ephesus
• Similar instructions to Corinth
• In both cases, Paul proves his point from
  Creation and Eden (1Tim 213-14 1Cor 118-9).
  Therefore this is a universal principle.
• Only Sunday Morning
• True of 1Cor 11-14 context, but not here
• in every place (v8)
• Anger free prayers and modesty are required at
  all times, not just Sunday morning
