How do we know the subordination of women to men is true in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible clearly states in 1 Timothy 2:11-12 that women should learn in silence and not usurp authority over men.

In 1 Timothy 2:11-12, Paul instructs that women are to learn in silence with all submissiveness and are not permitted to teach or exercise authority over men. This reflects the order God has established for the church and the home. It is important to note that this subordination is not a reflection of inferiority; rather, it speaks to the roles that God has ordained for men and women. Just as Jesus subordinated Himself to the Father, women are called to submit to their husbands, not because they are lesser in value but because it is God's established order. This idea is reinforced by the example of godly women in Scripture who influence their households significantly.
