Is this one any better.

Timothy visits Bill and Betty Permagos from the congregation at Ephesus.
Timothy: ” I have just received news from the Apostle Paul and he has mentioned some things that are particularly important to the both of you.
(Looking at Betty) You have been teaching and exercising authority over Bill, teaching him things that are contrary to the true Christian faith. Paul says he does not permit this, and says that you need to learn the Christian faith in quietness and full submission.
(Looking at Bill) Paul does not permit Betty to teach or to have authority over you. Don’t just stand there and do nothing, because, Adam was formed first, then Eve. This gave him wonderful knowledge and meant that he wasn’t deceived, but he remained silent. He didn’t do anything to help. Don’t be like Adam.
(Looking at Betty) Eve was formed after Adam, and had less knowledge, and just like her you are deceived and have become a sinner. But you will be saved through Jesus if
(Looking at both Bill and Betty) you both continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.”
