For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
Paul’s point in this passage, though, seems to be that since the woman led in the fall in the Garden of Eden she cannot assume a leading role in the church as a teacher. But there is nothing more honorable than the role of a mother, wife, and homemaker that God has prescribed for the woman. The honor in her role is reason enough that she should never step into the place of leadership, ruler, or teacher in the church. She must take her place as a quiet learner rather than display a voice of authority as an instructor, lecturer, or teacher. Regardless of the movements in this modern age, for a woman to attempt to take on this masculine role would be in direct conflict with the divine order (1 Corinthians 11:3).
