First Timothy 2:13-15 reads, “For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.” This verse contains one of the most difficult expressions of the whole epistle.

Almost all of them have missed one or two very significant points, to which I shall try to call your attention.
