Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

The early church evidently followed Jewish practices in religious education. In Israel, mothers taught their daughters, and it was the father's responsibility to teach his sons in all areas, including religious education. So Paul's prohibitions here are consistent with the practices of his day.
