9 Likewise, the women, when they pray, should be dressed modestly and sensibly in respectable attire, not with elaborate hairstyles and gold jewelry, or pearls, or expensive clothes.
9
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
10 Rather, they should adorn themselves with what is appropriate for women who claim to be worshipping God, namely, good deeds.
10
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Let a woman learn in peace, fully submitted;
11
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
