1 Timothy 2:10

Serving othersIntegrity

8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.

9 Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,

but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.

11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.

12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
