1 Timothy 2:8-15

Christian Standard Bible

Instructions to Men and Women

⁸ Therefore, I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.^{(A) 9} Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing,^(B) with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold,^(C) pearls, or expensive apparel, ¹⁰ but with good works,^(D) as is proper for women who profess to worship God. ¹¹ A woman is to learn quietly with full submission.^{(E) 12} I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; instead, she is to remain quiet. ¹³ For Adam was formed first, then Eve.^{(F) 14} And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed.^{(G) 15} But she will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness,^(H) with good sense.
