Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:11
Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.This is far superior to the translation "learn in silence" in the King James Version; because no requirement whatever of silence is imposed in the worship of God. The quietness in view here is that of due acceptance of authority, respect for God's rule of prohibiting women from taking over the public worship, and the quiet acceptance of their womanly role as childbearers and mothers of the human race. Certainly, in the asking of questions in... 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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 2:13
1 Timothy 2:13. Adam was first formed,— It is plain that the apostle does not mean to put the whole of his argument upon the priority of the man's creation in point of time; for, on that principle, the birds and beasts would have the pre-eminence even of Adam; but he refers only to the human species, and to the regard which God expressed for the ease and comfort of man, by making the woman to be his helpmate and companion. So that it is the same thought, in fewer words, which is expressed more... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 2:11
11. learn—not "teach" (1 Timothy 2:12; 1 Corinthians 14:34). She should not even put questions in the public assembly (1 Corinthians 14:34- :). with all subjection—not "usurping authority" (1 Corinthians 14:34- :). She might teach, but not in public (1 Corinthians 14:34- :). Paul probably wrote this Epistle from Corinth, where the precept (1 Corinthians 14:34) was in force. 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
