"Women in like manner must be grave, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things." [ASV] It would seem that the subject is the demeanor and behavior of the women of the church. No office. It also reiterates some of the requirements of Bishop as well. Might it not be reasonable to think that these stated attributes be desirable in all of the Church? Not slanderers? Temperate? Faithful? I take it as a reminder of what we all are responsible to do.
