1 Timothy 2:9 in Context — 1 Timothy 2

7 et pour lequel j’ai été établi prédicateur et apôtre, je dis la vérité, je ne mens pas, chargé d’instruire les païens dans la foi et la vérité.

8 Je veux donc que les hommes prient en tout lieu, en élevant des mains pures, sans colère ni mauvaises pensées.

9 Je veux aussi que les femmes, vêtues d’une manière décente, avec pudeur et modestie, ne se parent ni de tresses, ni d’or, ni de perles, ni d’habits somptueux,

10 mais qu’elles se parent de bonnes œuvres, comme il convient à des femmes qui font profession de servir Dieu.

11 Que la femme écoute l’instruction en silence, avec une entière soumission.
