Nice and Cozy

I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man.

Paul says that a woman not
Teach and exercise authority
Over the man.

The argument is:
This is one action, not two.

We say, The baby looks
Nice and cozy
And we don’t mean
That the baby looks
Kind and also warm.
No. Simply that the baby
Looks very warm.

So a woman should not
Teach with authority,
That is to say,
She is not the final arbiter.

Teach: yes, please.
Prophesy: of course.
Correct, instruct, serve: absolutely.

Act as elder, determining doctrine?
No. That’s the line.
