1 Timothy 2:9-15
New American Standard Bible

9 Likewise, I want (A)women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, [a]modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive apparel, 10 but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. 11 (B)A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 (C)But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 (D)For it was Adam who was first [b]created, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but (E)the woman was [c]deceived and [d]became a wrongdoer. 15 But [e]women will be [f]preserved through [g]childbirth—if they continue in (F)faith, love, and sanctity, with moderation.

1 Timothy 2:9-15
New International Version

9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,(A) 10 but with good deeds,(B) appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

11 A woman[a] should learn in quietness and full submission.(C) 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet.(D) 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.(E) 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.(F) 15 But women[c] will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love(G) and holiness with propriety.

1 Timothy 2:9-15
The Message

8-10 Since prayer is at the bottom of all this, what I want mostly is for men to pray—not shaking angry fists at enemies but raising holy hands to God. And I want women to get in there with the men in humility before God, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it.

11-15 I don’t let women take over and tell the men what to do. They should study to be quiet and obedient along with everyone else. Adam was made first, then Eve; woman was deceived first—our pioneer in sin!—with Adam right on her heels. On the other hand, her childbearing brought about salvation, reversing Eve. But this salvation only comes to those who continue in faith, love, and holiness, gathering it all into maturity. You can depend on this.
