10.22.2014 New Testament: 1Ti 2.15

To read the Bible in a year, read First Timothy 2 on October 22, In the year of our Lord 2014

By Don Ruhl

Paul explained that men teach over women in the church because the Lord created Adam first, and Eve fell into transgression, then the apostle said,

Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control (1 Timothy 2.15). 

This is not an order for women to have children, but the Lord cursed Eve with sorrow and pain in childbirth for leading in sin, and so every woman bears the consequence of Eve’s sin. However, if women continue in faith, love, and holiness, along with self-control, they shall be saved, just as men are saved in these things.
