1 Corinthians 14:34
Just as the Law also says.
Every time the Greek for the word law in this text is used it is used to describe the scriptures and the commands of God. For example, in the same chapter verse 21, "‘In the Law it is written, "By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, and even so they will not listen to me,’ says the Lord." This means that Paul is commanding the women to "subject themselves" because it is the scripture and God that commands it. This is not an option nor is Paul commanding it based on the culture of the time, but instead on the lasting principles of the Word of God.
It is probable that Paul is here referring to Geneses 2 and 3 for these are the same passages referred to in 1 Timothy 2:13, 14.
