1 Timothy 2 (WEBP)

[1] I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,
[2] for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
[3] For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
[4] who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
[5] For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
[6] who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,
[7] to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
[8] I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
[9] In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,
[10] but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.
[11] Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.
[12] But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
[13] For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
[14] Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
[15] but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.

1 Timothy 2:9 The word for “not” is the negative particle “μη” which denies an expected idea, as opposed to the usual word for “not” (ου) which denies a fact. Thus “μη” in this context is denying an expected idea (that women can be properly dressed without good works).
