but she will be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.
The woman’s quiet role contrasts sharply to the public role in which God places man. But simply because she is not in the spotlight does not mean the Lord has overlooked her need of salvation. She shall be saved in this quiet and honorable role under the described condition: "if" she continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. Her salvation, then, comes not by way of public teaching (verses 11-12; 1 Corinthians 14:34-35) but in the fulfilling of her domestic duties and maintaining the role God has designed for her.
