1 Timothée 2:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Timothy 2:11

Let the woman learn in silence
The apostle goes on to give some other instructions to women, how they should behave themselves in public worship, in the church of God; he would have them be learners and not teachers, sit and hear, and learn more of Christ, and of the truth of the Gospel, and to maintain good works; and he would have them learn in silence, and not offer to rise and speak, under a pretence of having a word from the Lord, or of being under an impulse of the Spirit of the Lord, as some frantic women have done; and if they should meet with anything, under the ministry of the word, they did not understand, or they had an objection to, they were not to speak in public, but ask their own husbands at home; see ( 1 Corinthians 14:34 1 Corinthians 14:35 ) . And thus, they were to behave

with all subjection;
both to the ministers of the word, and to their own husbands; obeying from the heart the form of doctrine delivered to them; and submitting cheerfully to the ordinances of Christ; the whole of which is a professed subjection to the Gospel, and which becomes all professing godliness.

1 Timothée 2:11 In-Context

9 Et que pareillement les femmes se parent d'un vêtement honnête, avec pudeur et modestie, non de tresses de cheveux, ni d'or, ni de perles, ni d'habillements somptueux;

10 Mais de bonnes œuvres, comme il convient à des femmes qui font profession de servir Dieu.

11 Que la femme écoute l'instruction en silence, en toute soumission;

12 Car je ne permets pas à la femme d'enseigner, ni de prendre de l'autorité sur son mari; mais elle doit demeurer dans le silence.

13 Car Adam a éte formé le premier, et Eve ensuite.
