7. This is why God chose me to be a preacher and an apostle of the good news. I am telling the truth. I am not lying. God sent me to teach the Gentiles about faith and truth.
8. I want everyone everywhere to lift innocent hands towards heaven and pray, without being angry or arguing with each other.
9. I would like women to wear modest and sensible clothes. They should not have fancy hair styles, or wear expensive clothes, or put on jewellery made of gold or pearls.
10. Women who claim to love God should do helpful things for others,
11. and they should learn by being quiet and paying attention.
12. They should be silent and not be allowed to teach or to tell men what to do.
13. After all, Adam was created before Eve,
14. and the man Adam wasn't the one who was fooled. It was the woman Eve who was completely fooled and sinned.
15. But women will be saved by having children, if they stay faithful, loving, holy, and modest.
