I was just thinking more about 1 Tim 4:16 when Paul tells Tim to persevere, “because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers”. I was wondering if this has any more implications for 1 Tim 2:11-15.
In 1 Tim 4:16 Tim’s salvation is spoken of as future, and yet he is obviously a believer at the time of writing. Perhaps this suggests that although it is reasonable to conclude from the rest of v11-15 that “the woman” is not yet a believer, the future tense of v15 does not absolutely prove this in and of itself. The future tense would be consistent with this and goes along well with this view, but does not absolutely prove it, if you can follow my point.
When I make statements to people, I just like to be accurate, because if I am not, then they have a habit of coming back to bite me!
