When reading 1 Timothy 2:11-15, consider this statement: “Rather than being criticized, Eve should be honored for her bold willingness to initiate mortality for all humankind. The Greek text of 1 Timothy 2:14 suggests that Paul believed Eve’s transgression consisted in her overstepping her bounds by usurping authority to make a decision that affected both herself and Adam. The Greek word parabasis, translated in this verse as 'transgression,' means literally 'to overstep'" (Kelly Odgen & Andrew Skinner, The New Testament: Verse by Verse, 2:215).
