1 Timothy 2:9-15

9I want women to show their beauty by dressing in appropriate clothes that are modest and respectable. Their beauty will be shown by what they do, not by their hair styles or the gold jewelry, pearls, or expensive clothes they wear.

10This is what is proper for women who claim to have reverence for God.

11A woman must learn in silence, in keeping with her position.

12I don’t allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. Instead, she should be quiet.

13After all, Adam was formed first, then Eve.

14Besides that, Adam was not deceived. It was the woman who was deceived and sinned.

15However, she ⌞and all women⌟ will be saved through the birth of the child, if they lead respectable lives in faith, love, and holiness.
