1 Timothy 2:11-15

Expanded Bible

¹¹ Let a woman learn ·by listening quietly [in silence] and ·being ready to cooperate in everything [^Lin full/all submission]. ¹² But I do not allow a woman to teach or to ·have [assume; exercise] authority over ·a man [or her husband], but to ·listen quietly [be quiet], ¹³ because Adam was formed first and then Eve [Gen. 2:8, 18, 22]. ¹⁴ And Adam was not ·tricked [deceived; led astray], but the woman was ·tricked [deceived; led astray] and became a ·sinner [transgressor; Gen. 3:1–6]. ¹⁵ But she will be saved through ·having children [or motherhood; ^Cless likely, a reference to the birth of Christ] if she continues in faith, love, and holiness, with ·self-control [propriety; good sense].
