1 Timothy 2:13
11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.
For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.
14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.
15 Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
