1 Timothy

1 Timothy 2:11–14

¹¹A woman^b must learn in quietness and full submissiveness. ¹²I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man;^c she is to remain quiet. ¹³For Adam was formed first, and then Eve. ¹⁴And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.
