7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying(A)—and a true and faithful teacher(B) of the Gentiles.(C)
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands(D) without anger or disputing. 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,(E) 10 but with good deeds,(F) appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
