1 Timothy 2:9-11
GOD’S WORD Translation
9 I want women to show their beauty by dressing in appropriate clothes that are modest and respectable. Their beauty will be shown by what they do,[a] not by their hair styles or the gold jewelry, pearls, or expensive clothes they wear. 10 This is what is proper for women who claim to have reverence for God.
11 A woman must learn in silence, in keeping with her position.
