The Key Word — γυνὴ, gunēgenerated
The Greek word γυνή (i.e., *gunē*) means 'woman' and can refer to any female, including wives and unmarried women. It is a noun in the nominative case, singular, and feminine, indicating its role as the subject of the verb in this verse.
This term is used in various contexts in the New Testament, often to address women with respect or affection. It can also imply different nuances depending on the context, such as in Matthew 11:11.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.' This is consistent with the KJV and ASV, which emphasize the learning aspect in a quiet manner.
However, the translations differ on the rendering of γυνὴ. The BSB, ASV, and others use 'a woman', while the KJV uses 'woman', and some versions like FBV use 'women'. Additionally, the word for 'submissiveness' varies, with the BSB using 'submissiveness' while the ASV and others prefer 'subjection'.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in this verse is μανθανέτω, should learn, which governs the entire clause. The structure includes a subject, a verb, and two prepositional phrases that describe the manner of learning.
The subject is γυνὴ, woman, and the two prepositional phrases are ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ (in quietness) and πᾶσῃ ὑποταγῇ (with full submissiveness), indicating how the woman is to learn.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
γυνή corresponds to the Hebrew word אִשָּׁה (i.e., *ishah*), which also means woman or wife. This connection is significant in understanding the cultural context of the term as used in both the Old and New Testaments.
The term μανθάνω does not have a direct equivalent in the Septuagint but is related to the Hebrew לָמַד (i.e., *lamad*), which means to learn or teach, indicating a continuity in the concept of learning across the scriptures.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
1 Timothy 2:11 teaches that a woman should learn quietly and with full submission. This reflects a respectful approach to learning within the church community, emphasizing the importance of humility in worship.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Learning in quietness suggests a peaceful and respectful attitude, allowing for focused understanding without disruption, as indicated in the context of worship.
Submissiveness is emphasized as a reflection of respect for authority and order within the church, aligning with the created order as described in Genesis.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) Let the woman learn in silence.—The thought of public ministration is still in the Apostle’s mind, when he gives this injunction. The very questioning on difficult points is forbidden them at the public assembly (1 Corinthians 14:35). So averse was St. Paul to anything which might mar the quiet solemnity of these meetings for prayer and praise and authoritative instruction. This prohibition to speak publicly in assemblies for prayer and praise in the case of Christian women, was renewed in the North African Church, at the Council of Carthage, held A.D. 398. The same Council, however, specially permitted women to teach those of their own sex in private; indeed, the power to teach…

The Greek word γυνή (i.e., *gunē*) means 'woman' and can refer to any female, including wives and unmarried women. It is used in various contexts in the New Testament, such as addressing women with respect or affection. The term also specifically denotes a wife and appears in passages like Matthew 1:20 and 14:3. Lexicons note that it can imply different nuances depending on the context.

This old noun retains from Homer down to MGr—where it has only changed its declension (ἡ yvvaika)—the two meanings of ‘‘woman”’ and ‘‘ wife”: it is superfluous to illustrate the one or the other, as we should get no light on the only questions that arise in NT, such as which word to use in rendering Mt 578. The meeting of two words characteristic of that passage does, however, make it worth while to quote Wiinsch 4 58° (iii/A.D.), where Domitiana prays that her lover may be wholly devoted to her, μηδεμίαν ἄλλην γυναῖκα μήτε παρθένον ἐπιθυμοῦντα.

The generic term "man" includes woman. In the narrative of the creation (Ge 1:26,27) Adam is a collective term for mankind. It may signify human being, male or female, or humanity entire. "God said, Let us make man .... and let them"…
Woman
Was “taken out of man” (Gen. 2:23), and therefore the man has the preeminence. “The head of the woman is the man;” but yet honour is to be shown to the wife, “as unto the weaker vessel” (1 Cor. 11:3, 8, 9; 1 Pet. 3:7). Several women are mentioned in Scripture as having been endowed with prophetic gifts, as Miriam (Ex. 15:20), Deborah (Judg. 4:4, 5), Huldah (2 Kings 22:14), Noadiah (Neh. 6:14), Anna (Luke 2:36, 37), and the daughters of Philip the evangelist…

Man and woman are indeed essentially one, the natural qualities of each so responding to those of the other as to lay the foundation of the most tender and abiding unity. The Bible thus raised the Jewish woman high above the woman of heathenism; and the Old Testament contains some of the finest portraitures of female character. But still greater is the contrast between the women of heathenism and…

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

The Greek word ἡσυχία (i.e., *hesuchia*) means quietness, stillness, or silence. It is derived from the adjective ἡσύχιος, and covers a range of meanings related to rest and tranquility. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts emphasizing peaceful living and silent attention, notably in 2 Thessalonians 3:12 and 1 Timothy 2:11-12. The lexicons do not present significant disagreements regarding its meanings.

The Greek word μανθάνω (i.e., *manthanō*) means 'to learn' and is derived from a root meaning 'to learn' or 'to understand.' It encompasses learning through inquiry, practice, and experience, and appears in various contexts in the New Testament, such as in 1 Timothy and Philippians. The lexicons do not present significant disagreements, but they highlight different nuances of learning, from acquiring knowledge to developing habits.

The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.

The Greek word ὑποταγή (*hypotagē*) means subjection or submission. It is derived from a root meaning to place under. This term appears in several New Testament passages, including 2 Corinthians 9:13 and Galatians 2:5, where it conveys the idea of obedience or subordination. The lexicons generally agree on its meanings, with no significant disagreement noted.
ὑποταγή, -ῆς, ἡ, 1. the act of subjecting (Dion. Hal.). 2. obedience, subjection: 2 Co. ix. 13 (on which see ὁμολογία, Ὁ.) ; Gal. ii. 5; 1 Tim. ii. 11; iii. 4.5
ὑποταγή, “‘subjection” (2 Cor 913): BGU I. 967 (254 half iii/a.D.) where a certain Noumenius is described—as ἐν ὑποταγῇ [τ]υγχάνοντα. For ὑποταγή = servitus, see Vett. Val. p. 1068, ai.
ὑποταγή (hupotagē) — submission.
