Addressing a commonly misunderstood verse.

The word "saved" (sozo in Greek) does not always mean eternal/spiritual salvation — it simply means "saved from" something. In verse 15 the woman is saved from any perceived diminished status: childbearing is something no man can take or replicate. Mike warns against reading a theological term (salvation) into a normal dictionary usage of a word.
