1 Timothy 2:11-12

Let the women learn in silence. In the public worship on the Gentile churches the teaching was confined to the men. For a discussion of the reasons, see notes on 1Co 14:33-36, where the same directions are given.

With all subjection. Submission to the authorized teachers of the church. I suffer not a woman to teach. "I permit not" (Revised Version). To become an authorized teacher off the church, a work confined to presbyters.

Nor to usurp authority over a man. Authoritative teaching and ruling were united.
