1 Timothy 2:8-15 - Instructions To Men And Women

⁸ I want the men everywhere to offer prayer, lifting to heaven hands that are holy, without any angry disputes. ⁹ Women for their part are to dress modestly and sensibly in proper clothes, not adorning themselves by braiding their hair or with gold or pearls or expensive clothing, ¹⁰ but, as is appropriate for women who profess to be religious, with good actions. ¹¹ Women must listen quietly in church and be perfectly submissive. ¹² I do not allow women to teach or to domineer over men; they must keep quiet. ¹³ For Adam was formed first, and then Eve; ¹⁴ and it was not Adam who was deceived, it was the woman who was deluded and fell into sin. ¹⁵ But they will be saved through motherhood, if they continue to have faith and to be loving and holy, and sensible as well.
