9Likewise, 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,

10but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
10but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.
11A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.

12But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
13For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.
13For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.
