New International Reader's Version

1 Timothy 2:9-14 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

9. I also want women to dress simply. They should wear clothes that are right and proper. They shouldn't braid their hair. They shouldn't wear gold or pearls. They shouldn't spend too much on clothes.

10. Instead, they should put on good works as if they were their clothes. That is proper for women who claim to worship God.

11. When a woman is learning, she should be quiet. She should follow the leaders in every way.

12. I do not let women teach. I do not let them have authority over men. They must be quiet.

13. Adam was made first. Then Eve was made.

14. Adam was not the one who was tricked. The woman was tricked and became a sinner.
