1 Timothy 2:8-15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and dispute.

9. Likewise also the women should adorn themselves in appropriate clothing, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold jewelry or pearls or expensive clothing,

10. but with good deeds which are fitting for women who profess godliness.

11. A woman must learn in quietness with all submission.

12. But I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.

13. For Adam was formed first, then Eve,

14. and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, because she was deceived, came into transgression.

15. But she will be saved through the bearing of children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness with self-control.
