1 Timothy 2:8 in context

1 Timothy 2:5–11

5

For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

6

who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,

7

to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8
Selected verse

In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,

10

but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.

11

Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.
