Coinciding with the 1st Timothy 2 entry in my "Show Stoppers" series, I have "scored" all English versions of the passage (vs 11-15) that I could find online for their translational accuracy. Enjoy browsing through and looking for your favorite bible version, although beware, in most cases, it ain't a pretty picture.
Translations are scored on the following criteria with ten points awarded for each correctly translated section:
General - All human references retain their grammatical number as reflected in the original text.
Verse 11 (and 12) - hesychia translated to suggest peace or tranquility rather than verbal silence
Verse 12 - Paul’s authority (“I do not allow”, etc.) is clear
Verse 12 - Negative word such as dominion or dominate is used AND it is not suggested that such dominion is taken away or usurped from men
Verse 14 - Translation reflects correct tense
Verse 15 - “childbearing” is translated as a noun with the definite article AND salvation (rather than bodily safety) is emphasized
Individual points are added or subtracted as follows:
If reference is made to husband or wife in the passage, +1
If it is clear that “they” in verse 15 are the couple, +1
If Eve is clearly identified as “the woman” in verse 14, -1
If Eve is shown as being deceitful or in any way having brought sin into the world, or if the portrayal implies women in general are more easily deceived than men, -1
If there is an indication in the translation that the worship service is the setting, -1
If there is an indication that a woman’s “place” is in the home, -1
A perfect score is 60 and the maximum score (with bonus points) is 62. Minimum score is -4.
The top scoring translation with a perfect score is The Concordant Literal New Testament. The lowest score goes to our template translation, the Contemporary English Version, with a -1. It should be noted that the vast majority of the translations scored 30 or under.
Correctly translated phrases are in blue; incorrectly translated ones in red. Neutral phrases or those that are always correctly translated are in grey. Underlining indicates bonuses or reductions.

A woman should learn quietly when you meet together. She should obey the men who teach in the *church. I do not let a woman teach men. And I do not let a woman take authority over a man. Instead, she should be quiet when the men are teaching. I say this because God made Adam first. Then he made Eve. It was Eve, not Adam, who believed *Satan. She believed the false things that *Satan said. And so she was the first to do what was wrong. But God will save women who give birth to children. He will do that if the women continue to believe him. Also, they must continue to love people. They must continue to live right lives because they are God’s. And they must always do what is proper.

A Voice in the Wilderness (VW)
Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to usurp authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled, fell into transgression. Nevertheless she will be kept safe through childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

Weymouth New Testament
A woman should quietly learn from others with entire submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man, but she must remain silent. For Adam was formed first, and then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but his wife was thoroughly deceived, and so became involved in transgression. Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint.

But they shall do well in parenthood, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
