1 Timothy 02 General Notes
Special concepts in this chapter
Peace
Paul encourages the Christians to live peaceful lives by exercising discipline and self-control. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/discipline)
Women in the church
Paul is probably instructing the women how to use their freedom in Christ in such a way that it does not upset the normal cultural standards for women. Because of the potential for controversy, extra care should be taken in translating these passages.
Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
"Prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings"
There is some overlap in meaning to these terms. It is not necessary to view these as perfectly distinct categories.
