I have to believe that Paul must have been dealing with either an ongoing or potential issue in the community. Taken out of context this could be seen as a bit of an inflammatory comment particularly in our contemporary "politically correct" culture. That being said I cannot forget about what Paul said as well just a couple of verses earlier when he said that "I want women to get in there with the men in humility before God". It does seem to me that Paul places on men a leading role for spirituality but that certainly was never meant to downplay the equally important role women play in the continuing development of spiritual maturity within a community or family.
Thought for the day: Be a spiritual leader.
