1 Tim. 2:15 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
1 Tim. 2:14      1 Tim. 3:1

First letter to Timothy 2:15

But she will be saved through childbearing [despite the curse, see Gen. 3:16],
if they [women] continue to live in
faith,
love [which is unselfish and giving]
and holiness
with good sense.
[The Greek word sophrosyne describes a well-balanced mind characterized by self-discipline and self-awareness.]
[In verse 14, "the woman" referred specifically to Eve; here the meaning is broadened to women in general. The word "through" does not mean that it is because of childbearing that a woman is saved. This is clear because the next phrase explicitly says that she must "continue in faith, love, and holiness." What Paul seems to be emphasizing is that childbearing and motherhood are not sinful but something beautiful and morally pure. The reason may be that there were some in Ephesus who forbade marriage and taught that celibacy was necessary for salvation, see 1 Tim. 4:3. Paul speaks positively about family life and encourages widows to remarry, see 1 Tim. 5:14. Another interpretation is that this is a reference to "the seed of the woman" in Gen. 3:15, which is the Messiah – the savior of the world.]
