Homily IX on St. Paul’s Epistle to Timothy by John Chrysostom
Let the woman learn in silence; that is, let her not speak at all in the church…They may all be seen here talking more than in the market, or at the bath. They are all busily conversing on unfruitful matters, as if they came here for relaxation…. For when our preaching has to compete with the chatter and no one attends to what is said, what good can it do them?

讓女人們安靜的學習吧!千萬別讓他們在教堂裡說話!他們在教堂裡比他們在市場在洗澡的時候還多話。搞得好像他們是來教堂放鬆似的。當我們邊佈道邊得跟他們搶著說話,還有誰能聽得到我們說的。這樣一來,大家都沒有好處。
os: 俗話說:三個女人就是一個菜市場。普遍認為,女人就是超級愛講話。不過也是有例外的吧⋯慢慢地越來越發現,其實超多男人都比女人還囉唆,而且囉唆的男人殺傷力都特別強!
