New Testament -> 1 Corinthians

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
1 Corinthians 14:34-35

• Those who are unmarried should never marry. 7:27

• Paul, like Jesus and the other New Testament writers, expects the end to come soon. “The time is short.” So there’s no time for sex or marriage since the world will be ending soon. 7:29
