The word used in the LXX . in Genesis 2:7 , ἔπλασεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον κ . τ . λ ., "The Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground;" and in Genesis 2:19 of the beasts of the field; whence the word πρωτόπλαστος (Wis. 7:1; 10:1), "first made;" "first formed," A.V. So in Romans 9:20 man is called τὸ πλάσμα , "the thing made;" and God is ὁ πλάσας , "he that made it." "Plaster," "plastic," "protoplasm," are, of course,... read more

Hath fallen into transgression. Fell (not hath fallen ) is the right tense to use here in English, though the Greek perfect, it is true, contains the further idea of continuance in the fall, as in 1 Corinthians 9:22 ; 1 Corinthians 13:11 ; 1 Thessalonians 2:1 ; 2... read more

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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 2:14

And Adam was not deceived - This is the second reason why the woman should occupy a subordinate rank in all things. It is, that in the most important situation in which she was ever placed she had shown that she was not qualified to take the lead. She had evinced a readiness to yield to temptation; a feebleness of resistance; a pliancy of character, which showed that she was not adapted to the situation of headship, and which made it proper that she should ever afterward occupy a subordinate... 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 2:13

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:14

and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:The argument here is that Adam was not deceived, whereas Eve was deceived, thus exhibiting a serious flaw that disqualified her from being the head, or leader. That quality of women being easily deceived is alone sufficient to justify the appointment of men as elders and evangelists, and as heads of the family. As Lenski observed on this verse, "This fact is not complimentary to women."[24] We are living in... read more
