1 Timothy 2:8 in context

  1. 6who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times;
  2. 7whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
  3. 8I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.
  4. 9In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;
  5. 10but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.
