1 Timothy 2:9-10

In like manner also, that women. When they come to the public worship, let them not spend their thoughts in adorning their bodies, but adorn themselves in modest apparel. In simple attire which not attract attention.

With shamefacedness. A shrinking from all that is indelicate.

Sobriety. Self-restraint; not yielding to vain impulses.

Not with broided hair. "Braided hair" (Revised Version). The Gentile women were much given to arranging the hair in plaits over the head, with bands of gold. Such vain and idle show at worship is forbidden, as well as the wearing of pearls, or costly array. At the house of God a display is not comely. Compare 1Pe 3:3.
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. There is another adorning which better becomes godly women. Let their lives be adorned by kindly, helpful deeds.
