1 Timothy 2:7-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

^7 (A)For this I was appointed a ^[a]preacher and ^(B)an apostle (^(C)I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of ^(D)the Gentiles in faith and truth.

⁸ Therefore ^(E)I want the men ^(F)in every place to pray, ^(G)lifting up ^(H)holy hands, without wrath and dissension.

Women Instructed

⁹ Likewise, I want ^(I)women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, ^[b]modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,
