1 Timothy 2:9-11
EasyEnglish Bible
Christian women should also live in a good way
9 I also want the women to dress themselves properly in a way that is right. They should not bring shame on themselves. What makes a woman beautiful? It is not the special way that she prepares her hair. It is not the gold things or jewels that she wears. It is not her expensive clothes. 10 Christian women should not dress themselves like that. Instead, their lives should show that they do good things. They say that they want to please God, so that is the proper way for them to live.
11 When you meet together, a woman should learn quietly. She must respect the leaders who teach in the church.
