Context of 1 Timothy 2:13
11A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. 14And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a wrongdoer. 15But women will be preserved through childbirth--if they continue in faith, love, and sanctity, with moderation.

Commentaries on 1 Timothy 2:13
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13For Adam was first formed, then Eve - And by this very act God designed that he should have the pre-eminence. God fitted man, by the robust construction of his body, to live a public life, to contend with difficulties, and to be capable of great exertions. The structure of woman's body plainly proves that she was never designed for those exertions required in public life. In this the chief part of the natural inferiority of woman is to be sought.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13For Adam was first formed, then Eve - The apostle, in this verse, and the following, gives reasons why a woman should occupy a subordinate situation, and not usurp authority. The first is, that she was second in the act of creation, or was made subsequent to man. The reason here assigned cannot be understood to be merely that of priority of existence - for then it would give every old person authority over a younger one; but it must refer to the…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.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 13The common view of this verse is that Paul thinks social roles come from man being created first (Genesis 2:7, 22; 1 Corinthians 11:8–12). People often link Paul's reasoning to the leading role of the firstborn son in the Old Testament. However, there are exceptions to the firstborn rule in Scripture (see Genesis 27–28). While the New Testament retains gender differences, it also promotes equality in Christ (Galatians 3:28; see also 1 Corinthians…Read the comment
