I have been discussing the variant reading in 1 Cor 14:38 (AGNOEITAI vs.
AGNOEITW) on another forum, but

wanted some feedback from this community. It seems to me the latter (the
rejected infinitive) makes much more

sense than what NA27 has, especially given the string of imperatives in the
last part of ch. 14, and the apparent chiastic

structure of 34-38. Also, 1 Cor 14:37-38 strikes as an inclusio with 1 Cor
12:1, especially with the use of

PNEUMATIKOS and AGNOEW in both places, so that vv. 37-38 do not only refer
to Paul's teaching in chapter 14,

but to his whole treatise on love and spiritual gifts in those three
chapters.
