Verse 12

Main article: 1 Timothy 2:12

New King James Version

And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.[3]
  • But I suffer not a woman to teach,

&c,] They may teach in private, in their own houses and families; they are to be teachers of good things, ( Titus 2:3 ) . They are to bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord; nor is the law or doctrine of a mother to be forsaken, any more than the instruction of a father; see ( Proverbs 1:8 ) ( 31:1-4 ) . Timothy, no doubt, received much advantage, from the private teachings and instructions of his mother Eunice, and grandmother Lois; but then women are not to teach in the church; for that is an act of power and authority, and supposes the persons that teach to be of a superior degree, and in a superior office, and to have superior abilities to those who are taught by them:[4]

  • nor to usurp authority over the man;

as not in civil and political things, or in things relating to civil government; and in things domestic, or the affairs of the family; so not in things ecclesiastical, or what relate to the church and government of it; for one part of rule is to feed the church with knowledge and understanding; and for a woman to take upon her to do this, is to usurp an authority over the man: this therefore she ought not to do,[4]

  • but to be in silence;

to sit and hear quietly and silently, and learn, and not teach, as in (1 Timothy 2:11).[4]

Verse 13

New King James Version

For Adam was formed first, then Eve.[5]
