New Testament

1 Timothy 2:6-15 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.

7. For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8. I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;

9. likewise 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,

10. but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.

11. Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness.

12. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.

13. For Adam was formed first, then Eve;

14. and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

15. Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
