9 In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;

10 but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
but as becometh women professing godliness, with good works.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection:
12 But I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
for I permit not a woman to teach in public, or to assume authority over the man, but to abide in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
For Adam was first formed, Eve afterwards.
14 Adam was not deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, by transgression fell.
15 but she will be delivered through the childbirth, if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
But she shall be saved through childbearing, if they abide in faith, and love, and holiness with sobriety.
