1 Timothy 2:11-3:7
English Standard Version
11 Let a woman learn quietly (A)with all submissiveness. 12 (B)I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 13 (C)For Adam was formed first, (D)then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but (E)the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 15 Yet she will be saved through (F)childbearing—if they continue in (G)faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
Qualifications for Overseers
3 The saying is (H)trustworthy: If anyone aspires to (I)the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. 2 Therefore (J)an overseer[a] must be above reproach, (K)the husband of one wife,[b] (L)sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, (M)hospitable, (N)able to teach, 3 not a drunkard, not violent but (O)gentle, not quarrelsome, (P)not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity (Q)keeping his children submissive, 5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for (R)God's church? 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may (S)become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover, he must be well thought of by (T)outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into (U)a snare of the devil.

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.
3 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
