View 2: Women saved spiritually in spite of the pain of childbirth

This view takes dia as 'through' in the sense of 'in spite of' or 'notwithstanding,' reading: 'She will be saved even though she must endure the pain of childbearing (as part of the Genesis 3 curse).' Mike finds this unsatisfying: (1) While dia can occasionally carry this nuance, it is a strained reading; (2) The connection to 'if they continue in faith' does not fit well — why would continuing in faith be the condition for being saved despite childbirth pain?; (3) It makes the statement trivial — saying 'women can still be saved even though childbirth is painful' adds nothing meaningful to the argument; (4) Paul's theology never elsewhere connects salvation to enduring physical curses.
