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.
but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.
11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.
Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.
But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.
13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve;
14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.
and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:

but she shall be saved through the childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
