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

⁸ I direct therefore that the men pray in publick and private, lifting up their hands to heaven with innocence, charity, and composure. ⁹ and that the women be decent in their apparel, adorned with modesty and reserve, not with broider'd hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; ¹⁰ but, as becomes women, who make a profession of religion, to be adorn'd with virtue. ¹¹ Let the women with submissive silence attend to instruction. ¹² for I don't allow a woman to be a teacher, nor to dictate to her husband; but let her be silent. ¹³ for Adam was the first that was form'd, then Eve. ¹⁴ Adam was not seduc'd, but the woman, who was the cause of his transgression. ¹⁵ however the women may be saved by educating their children, and persevering themselves in faith, in charity, in holiness and chastity. this may be depended upon as true.
