Paul addresses order in the gathered church, calling men to replace arguments with intercession and women to pursue modesty and a teachable spirit. He limits the elder/pastor role to qualified men, grounding this not in culture but in creation order (Adam and Eve). Far from devaluing women, the passage invites them to learn and flourish within God’s design so the church is unified and the gospel is displayed.

“Replace arguments with intercession, and let God reorder our hearts so the church reflects his design.”
