Men and Women in the Church

8 I desire therefore that the men pray aeverywhere, blifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;  
9 in like manner also, that the awomen adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and1 moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,  
10 abut, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.  
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.
12 And aI do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.

1 Timothy 2:8

I Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray. This refers back to I Timothy 2:1. Every where. In all places of public worship. Lifting up holy hands. This seems to indicate an attitude in prayer. The hands lifted up must be sanctified to holy deeds. Without wrath and doubting. Wrath would unfit for prayer. So would doubt; but the Greek word "dialogismos", rendered "doubting", is better rendered "disputing", as in the Revised Version.
