1 Timothy 2

This chapter is used by some to try to limit the work of women in the faith. I want you to read the several of the controversial verses from the Message translation.

"And I want women to get in there with men in humility before God, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions but doing something beautiful before God and becoming beautiful doing it."

"I don't let women take over and tell the men what to do. They should study to be quiet and obedient along with everyone else."

Notice the Message has the phrases "get in there with men" and "along with everyone else". Women aren't seen as limited Christians, they are right there doing the work of God.
