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 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.
