1Ti 2:15 | TNotes | STEP | 2:15 will be saved through childbearing (or will be saved by accepting their role as mothers, or will be saved by the birth of the Child ): The most likely explanation for this statement is that the false teachers had stirred up trouble in households (see 1 Timothy Book Introduction, “Setting”), and Paul was calling these women back to proper relations within their homes, in keeping with the truth of the Good News (see 1:4-5 ; 4:1-5 ). In so doing they would be saved in the ultimate sense (see 4:16 ; cp. 3:13 ). This verse might allude to Gen 3:15-16 , suggesting a reversal of the curse, either through normal childbirth or the birth of the Messiah.
