1 Timothy 2:8 - "I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting."
1 Timothy 2:8-15 - "I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing. I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
