1 Timothy 2:9-15

⁸ I will (resolve) therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath (anger/indignation) and doubting (debate).

⁹ In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel (orderly, good behavior), with shamefacedness (bashfulness) and sobriety (self-control); not with broided hair (elaborate), or gold, or pearls, or costly array (expensive clothing);

¹⁰ But (which becometh (be conspicuous) women professing godliness) with good works.

¹¹ Let the woman learn in silence (undisturbed) with all subjection. (whole subordination)

• This does not mean “to make substandard, slave or subservient” – it means “to allow without hindrance”

¹² But I suffer* not a woman to teach**, nor to usurp authority (dominate) over the man, but to be in silence. (*to entrust with a responsibility or duty, ** [a prolonged, causative form of a primary verb dao “to learn”]

¹³ For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

¹⁴ And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.(violation)

• 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

¹⁵ Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
