King James Version (KJV)
1 Timothy 2:10
“But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.”
King James Version (KJV)
1 Timothy 2:10 Context
7Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 8I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 9In 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; 10But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

People's Bible Notes for 1 Timothy 2:10
1Ti 2:10 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.
Those that walk in the light, love the light, they love words that edify. Those that walk in darkness, hate the light, they love words that destroy, and bring wrath.
