learn--not "teach" (Ti1 2:12; Co1 14:34). She should not even put questions in the public assembly (Co1 14:35).
with all subjection--not "usurping authority" (Ti1 2:12). She might teach, but not in public (Act 18:26). Paul probably wrote this Epistle from Corinth, where the precept (Co1 14:34) was in force. |

Learn (μανθανέτω)
Comp. Co1 14:35.
In silence (ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ)
See on peaceable, Ti1 2:2. Rev. renders quietness; but the admonition concerns the behavior of women in religious assemblies. Comp. Co1 14:34. The word is used in the sense of silence, Act 22:2 : with the broader meaning quietness in Th2 3:12. |

| Let the woman learn in silence - This is generally supposed to be a prohibition of women's preaching. I have already said what I judge necessary on this subject in the notes on Co1 11:5, etc., and Co1 14:34 (note), Co1 14:35 (note); to which places I beg leave to refer the reader. |
