AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Timothy 2:12 I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet [in the congregation]. |
Bible Question: Is it wrong for a woman to hold any position of authority (1 Tim. 2:12)? To be a college professor? |
Bible Answer: I think this verse and all the verses in the Bible are specifically geared to positions in the family and in the church. Women held no position of authority outside the home anyway back then.. |
