1 Timothy 2:11-15
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 (A)I permit not a woman to teach, [a]neither to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 [b]For (B)Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 (C)[c]And Adam was not [d]deceived, but the woman was deceived, and was in the transgression.
15 [e]Notwithstanding, through bearing of children she shall be saved, if they continue in faith, and love, and holiness with modesty.
