¹ sn The expression handed over to Satan refers to an act of discipline mentioned by Paul here and in 1 Cor 5:5, with a remedial goal, not a punitive one. The Greek word translated taught in this verse is used of “discipline, training of children” to lead them to correct behavior.

² sn But I do not allow. Although the Greek conjunction δέ (de) can have a simple connective force (“and”), it is best to take it as contrastive here: Verse 11 gives a positive statement (that is to say, that a woman should learn). This was a radical and liberating departure from the Jewish view that women were not to learn the law.

³ tn According to BDAG 150 s.v. αὐθεντέω this Greek verb means “to assume a stance of independent authority, give orders to, dictate to” (cf. JB “tell a man what to do”).

⁴ tn Grk “but to be in quietness.” The phrase ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ (en Jhsucia) is used in Greek literature either of absolute silence or of a quiet demeanor.

⁵ tn Or “Do not speak harshly to an older man.”

⁶ tn No verb “speak” is stated in this clause, but it continues the sense of the preceding.

⁷ sn An allusion to Deut 17:6, 19:15.

⁸ tn In context “laying hands on anyone” refers to ordination or official installation of someone as an elder.

⁹ tn Grk “and do not share in the sins of others.”
