Personal Reflection
As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
What did 1 Timothy 2:11-14 mean for the role of women in the context for which it was written (i.e., the church at Ephesus which Timothy was leading)? What are the implications of 1 Timothy 2:11-14 for the role of women in the church today?
