1Ti 2:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12 : He says, I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence (1 Timothy 2:12 ). Paul does not allow women to be public teachers or leaders over men in the church. This does not mean women cannot learn or teach at home, especially to children, as Timothy himself learned from his mother and grandmother (2 Timothy 3:15 ). Women like Priscilla also helped teach others privately (Acts 18:26 ).
