Just coming off the Mt 19:9 discussion I find the use of EPITREPW here
in 1 Tim 2 especially interesting, since it is the word used by Christ
to correct the Pharisees use of ENETEILATO. They said Moses
commanded the bill of divorcement. Christ says He suffered, tolerated,
or permitted it.
In 1 Tim 2:12 Paul does not even suffer a woman to teach or hold authority over a man. Moses suffered divorce. Paul did not suffer a woman to do either.
