The Problem of Submission
1 Timothy 2:11-15
1 Timothy 2:11-15
(11) Let a woman learn quietly with all
submissiveness.
(12) I do not permit a woman to teach or to
exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to
remain quiet.
(13) For Adam was formed first, then Eve;
(14) and Adam was not deceived, but the woman
was deceived and became a transgressor.
(15) Yet she will be saved through childbearing--if
they continue in faith and love and holiness, with
self-control.
