1 Timothy 2:6-10 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.

7. For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8. I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;

9. likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire,

10. but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.
