Paul’s words in 1 Timothy 2:15—”saved through childbearing”—may seem perplexing, but a deeper look reveals God’s high regard for women and their unique role in His redemptive plan. As John Walvoord explains, this passage highlights the sanctifying influence women have through their faithfulness in the home and family. Far from diminishing their worth, the Bible affirms that women are indispensable partners in God’s work, called to a life of faith, love, and holiness.
