1 Timothy 2:9-15
1 Timothy 2:9-15
9 Likewise, I wantwomen to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive apparel, 10 but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. 11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness.12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a wrongdoer. 15 But women will be preserved through childbirth—if they continue in faith, love, and sanctity, with moderation.

Finally, a teaching that makes sense for these difficult to understand verses about women from the Apostle Paul! This teaching was so rich and pulled together what Paul possibly had in mind for women and the challenges the women of the church may have been facing living in the cultural environment of Ephesus where Artemis reigned supreme, as well as Paul’s use of the creation account to anchor the discussion. I never had an understanding of 1Tim2:15 until I listened to John’s explanation. Thank you!
