Explanation from Life Application Bible

Some interpret this passage to mean that

woman should never teach in the assembled

church ; however, commentators point out

that Paul did not forbid women from ever

teaching.

taught Apollos, the great preacher .

(Acts 18:24-26)

Paul frequently mentioned other women

who held positions of responsibility in

the church Romans 16:1

Mary, Tryphena, and Tryphosa were the

Lord’s worker (Romans 16:6, 12)

as were Euodia and Syntyche

(Philippians 4:2)

Paul was very likely prohibiting the

Ephesian women, not all women, from

teaching.

Paul did not want Ephesian women to

teach because they did not yet the

have

The Ephesian church have a problem

with false teachers. Evidently, women

were susceptible to the false teachings (2

Timothy 3:1-9) because they didn’t have

the truth.

In addition, some of the women were

apparently flaunting this newfound

Christian freedom by wearing

inappropriate clothing (2:9)

Paul was telling Timothy not to put

anyone (in this case, women) into a

leadership position of leadership who

was not yet mature today in faith

New believers should become more secure

and strong in faith before taking

leadership roles in the church. Too often,

in a church desperate for workers, new

believers are placed in position

prematurely.

New faith they needs time to mature.

New believers should have a place of

service, but they should not be put into

leadership positions until they are firmly

grounded in their faith, with a solid

Christian lifestyle and a knowledge of

the Word of God.
