" But women will be sanctified through childbearing, IF they continue to live in love, faith, holiness, and modesty.” The verse states that childbirth can be one method of being sanctified, but sanctification through childbirth is not unconditional: a woman still has to have biblical values such as “love, faith, holiness, and modesty.” Furthermore, in the paragraph that preceded the paragraph containing 1 Timothy 2:15, it states, “Women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good deeds they do.” The verse directly states that women who claim to be devoted to God should judge themselves by their good deeds---not by other factors such as fertility.
