Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 2:9 - The Principle of Proper Adornment
from MOOR of the Word with Pastor Chuck Pourciau · host Dr. Chuck Pourciau
Paul’s point is not that women should be indifferent to their hair. That would contradict what he had just said about careful preparation to put oneself in order. Paul’s intent is not to forbid certain kinds of hairdos, as if some reflected a more worshipful attitude than others. He is confronting any gaudy, ostentatious hairdo that would distract attention from the Lord and the purposes that are holy. Women in that culture often wove gold, pearls, or other jewelry through their hair to call attention to themselves and their wealth or beauty.
