NASB | 1 Timothy 2:12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. |
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: Which Bible verse(s)support the belief some denominations adhere to that women should not be allowed to hold positions of authority in the church? |
Bible Answer: Hello willownanny, Typically, the reference is 1 Tim. 2:12-14- "But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression." Additionally, it can be shown that the references regarding the qualifications for Elders/Overseers in 1 Tim. 3:1-13 and Tit. 1:5-9 are masculine in gender. I hope this helps, BradK |
