In 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;
In modest apparel - `in seemly guise' (Ellicott). х Kosmioo (G2887), 'orderly,' 'decorous'; katastolee (G2689), 'deportment' outwardly; 'bearing,' including, but not restricted to, apparel.] Women love fine dress: at Ephesus riches (1 Timothy 6:17) led some to dress luxuriously. х Katasteema (G2688) (Titus 2:3), "behaviour," refers to demeanour.]
Shamefacedness. Trench spells this 'shamefastness' (that which is made fast by an honourable shame), as 'stedfastness' (cf. 1 Timothy 2:11-12).
Sobriety, х soofrosunees (G4997)] - 'discretion,' 'sobermindedness:' the well-balanced state arising from habitual self-restraint (Ellicott). With - Greek, in.
Broidered hair - literally, plaits: probably with the 'gold and pearls' intertwined (1 Peter 3:3). Such gaudiness characterizes the spiritual harlot (Revelation 17:4).
