1 Timothy 2

Is this passage written specificly for this church, was Paul just addressing this church with this issue?

11 Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.

And in verse 12 Paul speaks and say's "I do not permit" are those the words of Paul and not specificly God's Word or teaching on the issue? But Paul speaking for himself in that given situation.

thanks
