The commandment against women being priests:
(From the King James Bible)
1 Corinthians 14

14:32
And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the
prophets.


14:33
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as
in all churches of the saints.

14:34
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.

14:35

And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their
husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in
the church.

14:36
What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto
you only?

14:37

If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual,
let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto
you are the commandments of the Lord

1 Timothy 2:9
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
2:10
But * (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
2:11
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
2:12
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
2:13
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
2:14
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
2:15
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
