1 Timothy 2:10-12 (in Context) 1 Timothy 2 (Whole Chapter)
These scriptures all talk about the value of “quiet”. To have a “quiet” soul. No sounds of static, questioning, excess reasoning, doubt, fear, anger, unforgiveness. Quiet trust. To be able to fully submit to what she is being taught. Not writhing. Not wiggling. Not squalling like a child. But, to rest, content in the lap of the one who loves the most.
I read another translation that read “in quietness and trust”. So, therefore, not quiet and confidence in the flesh. But quiet confidence in the one who leads, guides, directs, and loves us!
Quiet.
Confidence.
