1 Timothy 2:12-13 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:12

Permit for suffer , A.V.; have dominion for usurp authority , A.V.; a for the , A.V.; quietness for silence , A.V. Permit . Why "permit" is better than "suffer" it is difficult to see. ἐπιτρέπειν is rendered "suffer" in the R.V. in Matthew 8:21 ; Matthew 19:8 ; Mark 10:4 ; Luke 9:59 , etc. Quietness (see preceding note). The true type of the womanly attitude is that of Mary, who "sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his Word" ( Luke 10:39 ). read more

Was formed ( ἐπλάσθη ).

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 2:13

For Adam was first formed, then Eve - The apostle, in this verse, and the following, gives reasons why a woman should occupy a subordinate situation, and not usurp authority. The first is, that she was second in the act of creation, or was made subsequent to man. The reason here assigned cannot be understood to be merely that of priority of existence - for then it would give every old person authority over a younger one; but it must refer to the circumstances of the case as detailed in the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Timothy 2:11-14

1 Timothy 2:11-14. Let the women learn in silence Let every woman receive instruction in religious matters from the men in silence, in your public assemblies; with all subjection With becoming submission to the other sex, neither teaching nor asking questions there. I suffer not a woman to teach Namely, publicly; nor to usurp authority over the man Which she might seem to do if she officiated under the character of a public teacher. The word αυθεντειν , here used, signifies both to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:1-15

2:1-4:16 CHURCH LEADERSHIP AND TEACHINGConduct in church meetings (2:1-15)Teachers of the kind Paul has described in Chapter 1 are usually narrow in their outlook and pray only for those of their own group. Christians should avoid such selfishness. They should pray for all without distinction, for God wants all to be saved (2:1-4). This salvation comes through the death of Jesus Christ. Paul rejoices that God has appointed him an apostle and teacher to make known this good news to the Gentiles... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:12

But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.To teach ... refers to public teaching in the worship. As Nute said:This prohibition in no way contradicts Titus 2:2,3; it relates to teaching in the church in the presence of men and to the fact that authority in matters concerning the church is not committed to women.[23] It is upon this verse that the office, either of elder, deacon, or evangelist, must, in the light of New Testament teaching, be... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:13

For Adam was first formed, then Eve;Paul's endorsement of the Genesis account of creation is inherent in this argument. Adam and Eve were not merely mythical figures of the remote past, but the progenitors of the human race. Moreover, they did not "evolve" from lower creation together, but Adam was made first; then Eve was formed of a rib taken out of his side.Adam's being the first formed, and having an existence before Eve was created, gave him priority in creation. Furthermore, Eve was... read more
