But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

Where you find this verse
That reaches back to this verse
In contrast to (this verse)1 Corinthians 14:34
Paul has already assumed women praying and prophesying in the assembly, so this silence concerns the teaching office rather than a woman's voice existing at all.
“let your wives keep silent in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the law also says.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.”
