Our passage this morning is part of an extended teaching on how men and women should conduct themselves in the church. In verse 8 the Apostle Paul gave instructions for the men: They were to stop fighting and to start praying. In verses 9-10 he began his instructions for the women: They were to stop treating the corporate worship gathering like it was a beauty pageant and they were to instead clothe themselves with good works. Our text today represents the second half of Paul’s instruction on how women were to conduct themselves in the worship gathering.
1 Timothy 2:11-15
