But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

ESV: I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.

γυναικὶ δὲ διδάσκειν οὐκ ἐπιτρέπω, οὐδὲ αὐθεντεῖν ἀνδρός, ἀλλ᾽ εἶναι ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ.
