1 Timothy 2:14. (2) The woman was in that first typical history the one directly deceived by the Tempter, Adam's sin being thought of as more against light and knowledge,' and so ‘she has come to be in the state of a transgressor.' The implied thought, of course, is that that greater liability to deception continues now; and this was probably strengthened by what the apostle actually saw of the influence of false teachers over the minds of women (2 Timothy 3:6-7). The history of the fall seemed to him acted over again. Comp. the position of the woman Jezebel in the Church of Thyatira (Revelation 2:20), and the false prophetesses in Ezekiel 13:17.
