Women Instructed

⁹ Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, ^[a]modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, ¹⁰ but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. ¹¹ A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. ¹² But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. ¹³ For it was Adam who was first ^[b]created, and then Eve. ¹⁴ And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, ^[c]fell into transgression. ¹⁵ But women will be ^[d]preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with ^[e]self-restraint.
