1 Timothy 2:12

2:12 But I do not allow ¹  a woman to teach or exercise authority ²  over a man. She must remain quiet. ³ 

1 Timothy 3:10

3:10 And these also must be tested first and then let them serve as deacons if they are found blameless.

1 Timothy 3:12

3:12 Deacons must be husbands of one wife ⁴  and good managers of their children and their own households.

1 Timothy 6:18

6:18 Tell them to do good, ⁵  to be rich in good deeds, to be generous givers, sharing with others. ⁶ 

[2:12]  ¹ sn But I do not allow. Although the Greek conjunction δέ (de) can have a simple connective force (“and”), it is best to take it as contrastive here: Verse 11 gives a positive statement (that is to say, that a woman should learn). This was a radical and liberating departure from the Jewish view that women were not to learn the law.

[2:12]  ² tn According to BDAG 150 s.v. αὐθεντέω this Greek verb means “to assume a stance of independent authority, give orders to, dictate to” (cf. JB “tell a man what to do”).

[2:12]  ³ tn Grk “but to be in quietness.” The phrase ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ (en Jhsucia) is used in Greek literature either of absolute silence or of a quiet demeanor.

[3:12]  ⁴ tn Or “men married only once,” “devoted solely to their wives” (see the note on “wife” in 1 Tim 3:2; also 1 Tim 5:9; Titus 1:6).

[6:18]  ⁷ tn Grk “to do good” (the continuation of 6:17). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 18.

[6:18]  ⁸ tn Grk “to be generous,” “sharing.”
