1 Timothy / Question
Question source
1 Timothy
Paul says women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control. He contrasts outward display (like elaborate hair, gold, pearls, or costly attire) with good works. See 1 Timothy 2:9–10.
9In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly clothing;
10but (which becomes women professing godliness) through good works.
