1 Timothy 2:11 - Exposition

A for the , A.V.; quietness for silence , A.V. Quietness is not so good a rendering as "silence," because the quietness here meant is silence , as appears clearly by the parallel direction in 1 Corinthians 14:34 . So Acts 22:2 , παρέσχον ἡσουχίαν is properly rend red in the A.V., "They kept silence." And ἡσύχασαν ( Luke 14:4 and Acts 11:18 ) is read, red, both in the A.V. and the R.V., "They held their peace." With all subjection ( ἐν πάσῃ ὑποταγῇ ); as 1 Timothy 3:4 . The words occur also in 2 Corinthians 9:13 ; Galatians 2:5 . But the verb ὑποτάσσομαι is very common in the sense of "being subject." It is used of the subjection of the wife to her husband ( 1 Corinthians 14:34 ; Ephesians 5:22 ; Colossians 3:18 ; Titus 2:5 ; 1 Peter 3:1 ).
