King James Version
1 Timothy 2:11-15
King James Version
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

1 Timothy 2:11-15
New Living Translation
11 Women should learn quietly and submissively. 12 I do not let women teach men or have authority over them.[a] Let them listen quietly. 13 For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived by Satan. The woman was deceived, and sin was the result. 15 But women will be saved through childbearing,[b] assuming they continue to live in faith, love, holiness, and modesty.

1 Timothy 2:11-15
New Life Version
11 Women should be quiet when they learn. They should listen to what men have to say. 12 I never let women teach men or be leaders over men. They should be quiet. 13 Adam was made first, then Eve. 14 Adam was not fooled by Satan; it was the woman who was fooled and sinned. 15 But women will be saved through the giving of birth to children if they keep on in faith and live loving and holy lives.
