(2:9) "Women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and
sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array." What the Bible says about clothing and fashion
(2:13)
"For Adam was first formed, then Eve."
Young Earth Creationists use this verse to show that Paul believed the creation story in
Genesis 2:18-22.
2:1
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2:2
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and
peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
2:3
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
2:4Who will have all men to
be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus;
2:6Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
2:7
Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in
Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
2:8I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands,
without wrath and doubting.
2:9
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and
sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
2:10
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
2:11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
2:12But I suffer not a
woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
