1 Timothy 2:9-15 - Instructions For Women

⁹ and I would have the women dress becomingly, with modesty and self-control, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls or costly clothes, ¹⁰ but--as befits women making a claim to godliness--with the ornament of good works. ¹¹ A woman should quietly learn from others with entire submissiveness. ¹² I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man, but she must remain silent. ¹³ For Adam was formed first, and then Eve; ¹⁴ and Adam was not deceived, but his wife was thoroughly deceived, and so became involved in transgression. ¹⁵ 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.
