1 Timothy 2:11-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 A woman must receive instruction silently and under complete control.(A) 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man.[a] She must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.(B) 14 Further, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed.(C) 15 But she will be saved through motherhood, provided women persevere in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.(D)
