1 Timothy 2:9-10

9 In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not just[a] with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing, 10 but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.

- 2:9 The word “just” is inserted here in English to preserve the meaning of the whole original Greek sentence in context. The word for “not” is the negative particle “μη” which denies an expected idea, as opposed to the usual word for “not” (ου) which denies a fact. Thus “μη” in this context is denying an expected idea (that women can be properly dressed without good works).
