Bible Phrasing: 1 Timothy 2:8–10

Following his general command of prayer (1 Timothy 2:1–7), Paul now turns to how men and women should pray. 

1) Men should pray...

• In every place
• by lifting holy hands 
• without anger 
• without quarreling

2) Similarly, women should pray by...

•  adorning themselves in respectable apparel
• with modesty
• and self-control
• not with braided hair
• gold [jewlery]
• pearls
• or costly attire
• adorning themselves with what is proper
• namely, good works, which are fitting for women who profess godliness.
