1 Timothy 2:12
Verse of the New Testament
1 Timothy 2:12
In the New Testament, 1 Timothy 2:12 is the twelfth verse of the second chapter of the First Epistle to Timothy, widely used to oppose the ordination of women as clergy, and to oppose certain other positions of ministry and leadership for women in large segments of Christianity. It is often quoted using the King James Version translation:But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. Many groups who do not permit women to become clergy also cite 1 Corinthians 14:32–35 and 1 Timothy 3:1–7. Historically, the verse was used to justify legal inequality for women and to exclude women from secular leadership roles as well.
