2:9-10 The subject is still community prayer. • to be modest in their appearance: Christian women must praise God rather than seek to be praised by people (cp. 1 Pet 3:3-5). They are to do good deeds for others, not focus on enhancing their appearance or being sexually seductive. Jewelry and expensive clothes imply wealth (see 1 Tim 6:5-10, 17-19), which might have played into the power struggles Timothy had to combat (2:11-15).
