Side issue: Does this passage address women in general or wives specifically?

5 Views on “Women Keep Silent" (1 Cor 14_35-36): Women in Ministry part 11 03:05:27 – 03:06:29

Mike briefly addresses whether 'women' (gunai) should be translated as 'wives.'

Verse 35 could indicate wives specifically because it mentions asking 'their own husbands at home.' However, Mike leans toward Paul assuming women are generally married when giving broad instructions. A single woman or a woman with an unbelieving husband would understand to apply the principle by asking someone else. The passage is about men and women in the church generally, not limited to married couples.
