2 Peter 2:12 [3] The early church evidently followed Jewish practices in religious education. In Israel, mothers taught their daughters, and it was the father's responsibility to teach his sons in all areas, including religious education. So Paul's prohibitions here are consistent with the practices of his day.

2 Peter 2:15 [5] This is considered one of the more difficult verses in the NT to interpret. Part of the difficulty is that the Greek verb rendered "preserved" is literally "saved," which could refer either to physical preservation or to salvation. Some expositors interpret the verb as referring to the blessings of a woman's role as wife and mother, especially in regard to raising godly children. However, the wording of the verse seen here reflects the interpretation that Paul is speaking, in broad terms, of protection from the dangers of childbirth.
