1 Timothy 2:7-12
New American Standard Bible
9Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive apparel,
10but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.
11A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness.
12But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.
King James Version
8I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
9In 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;
10But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
Christian Standard Bible
8Therefore, I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.
9Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing, with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, pearls, or expensive apparel,
10but with good works, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
11A woman is to learn quietly with full submission.
12I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; instead, she is to remain quiet.
New Living Translation
9And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.
10For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.
English Standard Version
8I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;
9likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire,
10but with what is proper for women who profess godliness — with good works.
11Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness.
12I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.
New International Version
8Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.
9I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
10but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
New King James Version
8I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;
9in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,
10but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.
11Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.
12And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
