2:9 Likewise ¹  the women are to dress ²  in suitable apparel, with modesty and self-control. ³  Their adornment must not be ⁴  with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive clothing, 2:10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess reverence for God. 2:11 A woman must learn ⁵  quietly with all submissiveness. 2:12 But I do not allow ⁶  a woman to teach or exercise authority ⁷  over a man. She must remain quiet. ⁸  2:13 For Adam was formed first and then Eve. 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, because she was fully deceived, ⁹  fell into transgression. ¹⁰  2:15 But she will be delivered through childbearing, ¹¹  if she ¹²  continues in faith and love and holiness with self-control.

3:1 This saying ¹³  is trustworthy: “If someone aspires to the office of overseer, ¹⁴  he desires a good work.” 3:2 The overseer ¹⁵  then must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, ¹⁶  temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, an able teacher, 3:3 not a drunkard, not violent, but gentle, not contentious, free from the love of money. 3:4 He must manage his own household well and keep his children in control without losing his dignity. ¹⁷  3:5 But if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for the church of God? 3:6 He must not be a recent convert or he may become arrogant ¹⁸  and fall into the punishment that the devil will exact. ¹⁹  3:7 And he must be well thought of by ²⁰  those outside the faith, ²¹  so that he may not fall into disgrace and be caught by the devil’s trap. ²²
