Commentary on 1 Timothy 2:10

Theological / Devotional

Godliness. Or, “reverence toward God.” By participating in public worship these women have openly professed their loyalty to the God they worship. To profess Christian faithfulness and yet dress extravagantly and immodestly is a form of hypocrisy.

Good works. Paul points to the external as well as the internal nature of genuine religion. The most attractive and worthy adornment is a record of “good works.” This alone will bring to women the complete satisfaction of being sincerely loved and respected. No amount of attractive clothing will hide the blemish of an unpleasant disposition, the lack of “good works” Compare Titus 3:8.
