Well, that’s the thing, Kay. If *no one* should “authentein” anyone else, then Paul saying, “I don’t permit a woman to authentein a man” is stating something that doesn’t need to be said. The prohibition makes no sense as written, because neither are women allowed to authentein women, or men allowed to authentein men or women. This is why it has to be “teach and authentein” together, as one thought. It’s the kind of teaching that “authenteins” that Paul appears to be speaking of.
