Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

1 Timothy 2
⁸ I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;
⁹ in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,
¹⁰ but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.
¹¹ Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.
¹² And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
¹³ For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
¹⁴ And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
¹⁵ Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
1 Timothy 3
¹ This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work.
² A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;
³ not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
