In the Bible, 1 Timothy 2:12 is the twelfth verse of the second chapter of the First Epistle to Timothy. It is often quoted using the King James Version translation:

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

— 1 Timothy 2:12, KJV

And from the English Standard Version:

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

— 1 Timothy 2:12, ESV

And from the Douay-Rheims Version:

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