1 Timóteo 2

1 Timóteo 2

Henry wrote, “The woman was made out of Adam’s side. She was not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved.” The immediate context of the commands to the husband and wife in Ephesians 5:19–33 involves the filling of the Spirit. Spirit-filled believers are to be worshipful (Eph 5:19), thankful (Eph 5:20), and submissive (Eph 5:21). Paul then follows this line of thought on Spirit-filled living and applies it to wives in Eph 5:22–24. A wife should submit to her husband, not because women are inferior (the Bible never teaches that), but because that is how God designed the marital relationship to function.GotQuestions.org RELATED RESOURCES: According to the Bible, to whom are we to be submissive, and why? | GotQuestions.org Are men and women equal in God’s eyes? | GotQuestions.org See Wayne Grudem's discussion at bottom of page on 1 Timothy 2:11-15 1 Timothy 2:12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.

PAUL SPEAKS AUTHORITATIVELY But I do not allow (epitrepo) a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet (hesuchia) - Allow (permit) is in the present tense, conveying emphasizing a continual action, and thus the idea "I am not permitting (or "do not permit"). It points to an abiding attitude. Not (ouk) indicates absolute negation. This verse opens the proverbial can of worms and is difficult (in my opinion) to interpret dogmatically. See Cole's analysis below. A T Robertson on to teach - In the public meeting clearly. And yet all modern Christians allow women to teach Sunday school classes. One feels somehow that something is not expressed here to make it all clear. J
