Context of 1 Timothy 2:15
13I say this because God made Adam first. Then he made Eve. 14It was Eve, not Adam, who believed the lies that Satan told her. Because she believed Satan completely, she did what God had said was wrong. But even as women give birth to children, God will save them. They must continue to trust God and to love other people. They must live in a way that shows they belong to God. They must think carefully about how they live. Then God will save them.

Commentaries on 1 Timothy 2:15
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15She shalt be saved in child-bearing - · She shall be saved through child-bearing - she shall be saved by means, or through the instrumentality, of child-bearing or of bringing forth a child. Amidst the different opinions given of the meaning of this very singular text, that of Dr. Macknight appears to me the most probable, which I shall give in his paraphrase and note. "However, though Eve was first in the transgression, and brought death on herself, her…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15Notwithstanding she shall be saved - The promise in this verse is designed to alleviate the apparent severity of the remarks just made about the condition of woman, and of the allusion to the painful facts of her early history. What the apostle had just said would carry the mind back to the period in which woman introduced sin into the world, and by an obvious and easy association, to the sentence which had been passed on her in consequence of her…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 8-15Verses 8-15 Under the gospel, prayer is not to be confined to any one particular house of prayer, but men must pray every where. We must pray in our closets, pray in our families, pray at our meals, pray when we are on journeys, and pray in the solemn assemblies, whether more public or private. We must pray in charity; without wrath, or malice, or anger at any person. We must pray in faith, without doubting, and without disputing. Women who profess the…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 15Women, however, will be saved through childbearing (or by accepting their role as mothers, or by the birth of the Child): The most likely explanation is that false teachers caused trouble in households (see 1 Timothy Book Introduction, “Setting”). Paul urged these women to return to proper roles in their homes, following the truth of the gospel (good news) (see 1:4–5; 4:1–5). By doing this, they would be saved in the ultimate sense (see 4:16; compare…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1515. be saved in childbearing--Greek, "in (literally, 'through') (her, literally, 'the') child-bearing." Through, or by, is often so used to express not the means of her salvation, but the circumstances AMIDST which it has place. Thus 1Co 3:15, "He ... shall be saved: yet so as by (literally, 'through,' that is, amidst) fire": in spite of the fiery ordeal which he has necessarily to pass through, he shall be saved. So here, "In spite of the trial of…Read the comment
