Key facts: earliest displacement is 4th century; earliest attestation is circa 200 AD in traditional spot

5 Views on “Women Keep Silent" (1 Cor 14_35-36): Women in Ministry part 11 00:21:31 – 00:22:34

Mike presents the timeline evidence favoring the traditional placement.

The earliest example of verses 34-35 being placed after verse 40 is the Ambrosiaster from the late 4th century. The earliest manuscript of 1 Corinthians (P46, circa 200 AD) has the verses in the traditional location. Scholars also warn that removing passages found in every single manuscript threatens the integrity of all scripture -- there would be no principled basis for removing any passage you dislike.
