1 Timothy

1 Timothy 2:9–15

⁹Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, ¹⁰but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.

¹¹A woman^b must learn in quietness and full submissiveness. ¹²I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man;^c she is to remain quiet. ¹³For Adam was formed first, and then Eve. ¹⁴And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression. ¹⁵Women, however, will be saved^d through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
