Read in context

1 Timothy 2:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,

10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.

11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.

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

13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.
