Amplified Bible (AMP)

15But women will be 2:15 This is considered one of the more difficult verses in the NT to interpret. Part of the difficulty is that the Greek verb rendered “preserved” is literally “saved,” which could refer either to physical preservation or to salvation. Some expositors interpret the verb as referring to the blessings of a woman’s role as wife and mother, especially in regard to raising godly children. However, the wording of the verse seen here reflects the interpretation that Paul is speaking, in broad terms, of protection from the dangers of childbirth.preserved (saved) through [the pain and dangers of] the bearing of children 2:15 The blessings on a woman are the result of her adherence to the virtues listed.if they continue in faith and love and holiness with self-control and discretion.
