1 Timothy 2:8-15

Living Bible

⁸ So I want men everywhere to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from sin and anger and resentment. ^9-10 And the women should be the same way, quiet and sensible in manner and clothing. Christian women should be noticed for being kind and good, not for the way they fix their hair or because of their jewels or fancy clothes. ¹¹ Women should listen and learn quietly and humbly.

¹² I never let women teach men or lord it over them. Let them be silent in your church meetings. ¹³ Why? Because God made Adam first, and afterwards he made Eve. ¹⁴ And it was not Adam who was fooled by Satan, but Eve, and sin was the result. ¹⁵ So God sent pain and suffering to women when their children are born, but he will save their souls if they trust in him, living quiet, good, and loving lives.
