Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
This is the same Greek word as used in 1 Timothy 2:11 : "Let the women learn in silence with all subjection." This passage, along with 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, forbids women to speak in the assembly or to preach. The words "quietness" and "silence" are too plain for people to misunderstand.
