Paul charged Timothy to admonish is church members,
1Ti 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men;
1Ti 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
1Ti 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
By the way
Today, 1Tim2:9 means more of moral conduct in dressing than it meant prayer to some christians.
Today, 1Tim2:9 means more of moral conduct in dressing than it meant prayer to some christians.
The verse was FIRST about prayer
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men;
Modest dressing is good but futile if you don't have a solid prayer life.
Have a prayer life without wrath and doubting first, then "in like manner also", be modest in dressing
So Paul charged Timothy to teach church members, not to raise a great music team, not to build a bigger auditorium, not to raise a prayer department, but to first of all pray
To pray for all men, and by all men and women
To pray for all men, and by all men and women
