  2. 1 Timothy 2:9-15 9I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

  3. 1 Timothy 2:9-15 11A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.

  4. 1 Timothy 2:9-15 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

  5. Was Paul a male CHAUVINIST? Quite the contrary! If we look at what Paul wrote within his culture, we will see that he had a high view of women.

  6. Wasn’t Paul a male CHAUVINIST? During Paul’s day in a Greco-Roman society, men married for money. “Marriages were usually arranged, and the father of the bride provided a dowry – a portion of money, clothes, jewelry, and possibly slaves.” (Allison Stevens)

  7. Wasn’t Paul a male CHAUVINIST? Paul says in Colossians 3:19, “Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.” In Ephesians 5:25-28, Paul compares the love of a husband to his wife with that of Christ’s love for the church.

  8. Wasn’t Paul a male CHAUVINIST? “Paul's instructions for marriage were a breath of fresh air. His thoughts were not those of a man who degraded women and wanted to ‘keep them in their place.’ Quite the opposite -- he elevated women to a place where they are to be loved as Christ loves the church.” (Allison Stevens)

  9. In a world of pluralistic values and traditions, Christianity champions the rightful place of women in the social and spiritual realms. Without stifling women’s spiritual gifts, proper limits are defined to promote order and harmony in church life and ministry.

  10. Serving God with an unfading inner beauty (vv. 9-10)

  11. Serving God with an unfading inner beauty (vv. 9-10) • Dress modestly, decently and appropriately. 9I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

  12. Serving God with an unfading inner beauty (vv. 9-10) • Adorn yourselves with good deeds that come from a gentle and quiet spirit (cf. I Peter 3:3-4). 9I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

  13. “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4 Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.” (I Peter 3:3-4)

  14. Serving God with an unfading inner beauty (vv. 9-10) • A godly life is the true and lasting inner beauty that only Christ can give.

  15. Serving God with an undying submission to authority (vv. 11-15)

  16. 1 Timothy 2:9-15 11A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.

  17. Should women not teach at all? No! Older women are told to teach the younger ones (Titus 2:3-4). Timothy was taught by his mother and grandmother. Priscilla teamed up with Aquilla to train Apollos (Acts 18:26).

  18. Serving God with an undying submission to authority (vv. 11-15) • Worship and learn quietly and peaceably. Teach and exercise your gifts willingly, but not as an elder/pastor of a church (cf. I Tim. 5:17).

  19. 1 Timothy 2:9-15 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

  20. “Sin first came into the world because Adam acted in disobedience to the created order. He allowed Eve to usurp his role as the head and to lead him into something he knew God had forbidden.” (Opening up 1 Timothy, Robinson, S. J.)

  21. Serving God with an undying submission to authority (vv. 11-15) • Live out your salvation by being a godly wife and mother.

  22. “A woman will find her greatest satisfaction and meaning in life, not in seeking the male role, but in fulfilling God’s design for her as wife and mother with all ‘faith, love, and holiness with propriety.’” (The Bible knowledge commentary : An exposition of the scriptures)

  23. Serving God with an undying submission to authority (vv. 11-15) • Submission is not subjugation, but a delightful surrender to God’s created order since Adam and Eve.
