Bible verse
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,
1 Timothy 2:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Timothy 2.
5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.
7 For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything.
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.
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.
