Abstract
The taceat mulier of 1 Cor 14:34-35 revisited. Discussions of the role of women in the church's ministry, as well as feminist attacks on Paul, require that the debate on 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 should continue. The latest attempt to solve the clash between 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 and 14:34-35 by text-critical means is discussed and various harmonizing efforts are criticized. Also the expedient of putting the taceat in the mouth of an opposing party is found unconvincing. Paul's theology and especially his view of women in the ministry, indicate that 1 Corinthians 14:33b-36 should be viewed as a post-Pauline interpolation. The development of the different textual traditions was quite complex and includes various kinds of redactional activity. Ironical as it may seem, the identification of 1 Corinthians 33b-36 as a post-Pauline insertion brings us nearer to the original Pauline text than mere external text-critical considerations. However, the always imminent danger of subjectivity requires that this procedure be applied with great circumspection and only as a last option.

Summary
Die stof rondom die outentisiteit van die taceat mulier van I Korintiers 14:34-35 het nog geensins gaan le nie. Alldrie du Toil die vrou in die amp by Paulus voorgele (Pelser 1976: 92-109). Sy deeglik beredeneerde betoog dat die swyggebod van I Korintiers 14:34-35 as 'n nie-Pauliniese interpolasie beskou moet word en daarom nie in berekening gebring behoort te word by 'n ondersoek na Paulus se siening van die vrou in die amp nie, het menige wenkbrou laat lig. Oat die referent sodanige reaksie verwag het, het geblyk uit sy eie tocgewing dat die weglating van hierdie verse "a very radical move" is (Pelser 1976: 100). In die lig van Professor Pelser se stimulerende bydrae in hierdie verband Iyk dit vir my ook gepas dat hierdie artikel juis in sy huldigingsbundel sal verskyn
