this goes to the very heart of seeking to understand the meaning of the

Dear Ward,
If Paul's statement in 1 Tim. 2:12 is not talking about men and women in
general, why do you think he employed the 3rd pl. aorist active subjunctive
form of MENW in 1 Tim. 2:15? Why did he switch from focusing on "she" to
focusing in on more than one woman?
Regards,
Edgar
