7 afor which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth1 in Christ and not lying—ba teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.  

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 2:9

In like manner that women (osautwv gunaikav). Boulomai must be repeated from verse I Timothy 2:8, involved in osautwv (old adverb, as in Romans 8:26). Parry insists that proseuxomenav (when they pray) must be supplied also. Grammatically that is possible (Lock), but it is hardly consonant with verses I Timothy 2:11-15 (White).

Adorn themselves (kosmein eautav). Present active infinitive after boulomai understood. Old word from kosmov (arrangement, ornament, order, world). See Luke 21:5; Titus 2:10. See I Corinthians 11:5 ff. for Paul's discussion of women's dress in public worship.

In modest apparel (en katastolh kosmiw). Katastolh is a late word (a letting down, katastellw, of demeanour or dress, arrangement of dress). Only here in N.T. Kosmiov is old adjective from kosmov and means well-arranged, becoming. W. H. have adverb in margin (kosmiwv).

With shamefastness (meta aidouv). Old word for shame, reverence, in N.T. only here and Hebrews 12:28.

Sobriety (swfrosunhv). Old word, in N.T. only here, verse I Timothy 2:15, and Acts 26:15 (Paul also).

Not with braided hair (mh en plegmasin). Old word from plekw, to plait, to braid, for nets, baskets, here only in N.T. Cf. I Peter 3:1 (emplokhv).

And gold (en xrusiw). Locative case with en repeated. Some MSS. read xrusw. Both used for gold ornaments.

Or pearls (h margaritaiv). See Matthew 7:6 for this word.

Or costly raiment (h imatismw polutelei). imatismov a common Koin‚ word from imatizw, to clothe. Polutelhv, old word from poluv and telov (great price). See Mark 14:3.
