1 Timothy 2:11-15 ▼

11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with all submissiveness.

12 I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet [in the congregation].

13 For Adam was formed first [by God from the earth], then Eve;

14 and it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was led astray and fell into sin.

15 But women will be preserved (saved) through [the pain and dangers of] the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and holiness with self-control and discretion.
