Lit saved

Or discretion

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

This is considered one of the more difficult verses in the NT to interpret. Part of the difficulty is that the Greek verb rendered "preserved" is literally "saved," which could refer either to physical preservation or to salvation. Some expositors interpret the verb as referring to the blessings of a woman's role as wife and mother, especially in regard to raising godly children. However, the wording of the verse seen here reflects the interpretation that Paul is speaking, in broad terms, of protection from the dangers of childbirth.

The blessings on a woman are the result of her adherence to the virtues listed.
