1 Timothy 2:9-15 - Instructions For Women

⁹ I also want the women to dress themselves in proper clothing, with modesty and discretion, not with [elaborately] braided hair, or gold [ornaments], or pearls, or expensive clothing, ¹⁰ but with good deeds, which are [more] appropriate for women who claim to be godly. ¹¹ A woman should learn [the Scriptures] in quietness, being fully submissive. ¹² But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man [in the assembly], but she should remain quiet. ¹³ For Adam was created first, and then Eve was. [See Gen. 1:27; 2:21-22]. ¹⁴ And Adam was not [the one] deceived, but [it was] the woman who, when deceived, fell into sin. ¹⁵ But she [i.e., womankind] will be saved [from condemnation, in spite of the "curse" of suffering pain] through childbearing [See Gen. 3:16], provided they [i.e., all women] continue to have faith and love and holiness, along with discretion.
