Quotes by Cynthia Long Westfall (?)

“But notice that Paul’s teaching on the veil in 1 Corinthians 11:2–16 insists that a woman who prays and prophesies in the church should be allowed to wear a symbol that was a cultural icon for honor, chastity, and protection. As far as it was in his power, Paul at least symbolically protected women slaves who were believers from being sexually used by those in the Christian community who submitted to his guidance and leadership.”

“Paul’s support of all women veiling equalized the social relationships in the community; inasmuch as such veiling was in his control, he secured respect, honor, and sexual purity for women in the church who were denied that status in the culture.”

“In 1 Timothy 2:8, Paul singles out anger and arguing as a problem among the males at Ephesus. This is often overlooked because the instructions to women and the prohibitions in 1 Timothy 2:9–15 have interested commentators more, so their focus tends to be on how the topic of prayer in 2:8 is related to the instructions to women. However, there are complementary instructions, to men first and then to women, addressing gender-specific issues that are part of the false teaching at Ephesus (1:3–7).”
