A.Wire rightly claims that the threefold repetition of the
imperative** SIGATW ... SIGATW ... SIGATWSAN contributes to the
discourse cohesion, knitting 1Cor14:34-35 lexically and semantically
to the immediately preceding context. This undermines both the
various interpolation theories and the notion that "Paul is
quoting ...".
