1 Timothy 2:7-9
New Life Version
7 This is why I was chosen to be a teacher and a missionary. I am to teach faith and truth to the people who do not know God. I am not lying but telling the truth.
Women in the Church
8 I want men everywhere to pray. They should lift up holy hands as they pray. They should not be angry or argue. 9 Christian women should not be dressed in the kind of clothes and their hair should not be combed in a way that will make people look at them. They should not wear much gold or pearls or clothes that cost much money.
