Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.

Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ,
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!

I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who seemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run in vain. But even Titus, who was with me, was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek. Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery— to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. ...
Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.

Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.
For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man. For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.
We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day.
For I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.
However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, through former association with idols, eat food as really offered to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.”
Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that “all of us possess knowledge.” This “knowledge” puffs up, but love builds up.
May the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
