MATTHEW HENRY COMMENTARY
Women who profess the Christian religion should be modest, sober,
silent, and submissive. They must be very modest in their apparel (you
may read the vanity of a person's mind in the gaiety and gaudiness of his
habit), because they have better ornaments with which they should adorn
themselves. Good works are the best ornament. Those that profess
godliness should, in their dress, as well as other things, act as becomes
their profession. Women must learn the principles of their religion,
learn Christ, learn the scriptures. They must be silent, submissive, and
not usurp authority. Adam was first formed, then Eve out of him. And as
she was last in the creation, so she was first in the transgression.
Women must be learners, and are not allowed to be public teachers in the
church; the woman must not usurp authority over the man, but is to be in
silence.
