Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

Learn - not "teach" (). She should not even put questions in the public assembly (1 Corinthians 14:34).

With all subjection - not 'usurping authority' (). She might teach, but not in public (). Paul probably wrote this from Corinth, where the precept was in force. A canon of the Council of Carthage

(A.D. 398 AD) renewed this prohibition. Women might privately teach those of their own sex.
