Bruce Metzger's explanation for the manuscript displacement

5 Views on “Women Keep Silent" (1 Cor 14_35-36): Women in Ministry part 11 00:21:00 – 00:21:31

Mike quotes Metzger's view that the relocation was a scribal attempt to improve the passage's flow.

Metzger wrote: 'Such scribal alterations represent attempts to find a more appropriate location in the context for Paul's directive concerning women.' The scribe likely held a stricter interpretation and moved the verses to apply them more broadly than their immediate context about prophecy would suggest.
