Saved in Child-bearing

By Editor

No. 447. Saved in Child-bearing.

PLEASE explain 1 Tim. 2:15. J. MCK.

Here is a translation (Rotherham's) of verses 14 and 15, which may throw light on the question, and which we present with paraphrase in brackets: "And Adam was not deceived [he sinned despairingly, presumptuously, knowing that it was sin], but the woman, being completely deceived, has come to be in transgression. Yet shall she be saved through the child-bearing [the Seed of the woman, Gen. 3: 15], if, perchance, they abide in faith and love and holiness with sobermindness." There is hope for woman even as men. Altho she sinned, yet through Him born of woman she may be saved through faith.
