Exegesis
The postpositive conjunction gar {γὰρ | gár} introduces a causal clause, where epitrepetai {ἐπιτρέπεται | epitré-pe-tai} appears as an impersonal passive, “it is permitted,” taking autais {αὐταῖς | autaîs} in the dative as the group affected and lalein {λαλεῖν | laleîn} as the infinitive of the action that is not allowed, “to speak.”
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:34
The women in the churches must be silent ; for it is not permitted for them to speak, but they must be submissive, just as the law also says.
