11 (A)A woman must learn in quietness, in all submission. 12 (B)But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 (C)For it was Adam who was first formed, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but (D)the woman being deceived, [a]fell into trespass. 15 But she will be [b]saved through the bearing of children, if they continue in (E)faith and love and sanctification with self-restraint.

11 Let a woman learn with a quiet spirit, and submissively. 12 Moreover, in the area of teaching, I am not allowing a woman to instigate conflict toward a man. Instead, she is to remain calm. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve, 14 and it was not Adam who was deceived. It was the woman who was deceived and became disobedient, 15 even though she will be saved through the birth of the Child,[a] if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, along with good judgment.[b]
