Looks like some confusion is still about:

* 1 Tim 2:9 may be speaking of arousing sensual feelings with improper clothing

* It may also/or refer to not shaming people of modest means by wearing overly expensive clothing

* It does not describe having no adornment or never enjoying adornment and clothing

* Women can dress attractively for their spouses or to "go out on the town", the construction likely indicates how to dress for prayer/congregation meetings--for example, Jewish women would wear a veil, men would have short hair in synagogues

Modest attire should be a requirement for all Christians. God asks for morals and values in His children. And that means no low cut tops for women with cleavage showing which I see all the time even at Church :huh:

1 Timothy 2: 9-10

 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.

I think it will come though reading the word of god., and in personal human conscience.
