ANALISIS TEOLOGIS PENGGUNAAN PAKAIAN BAGI KAUM WANITA DI DALAM GEREJA BERDASARKAN 1 TIMOTIUS 2:9-10

Abstract

In this study the author tries to examine the use of clothing which is suitable
for use by women in the Church based on the principle in 1 Timothy 2: 9-10. Simply
put, this study is based on four indicators of discussion, namely: Definition of
dressing with modesty 1 Timothy 2:9; The notion of dressing with shamefacedness
according to 1 Timothy 2:9; The notion of dressing up by not braiding hair by 1
Timothy 2:9; and the meaning of costly attire in the context of 1 Timothy 2:9. The
notion of dressing up appropriately on the basis of 1 Timothy 2: 9 has the meaning
that women will wear clothing that does not invite sexual desire to those who look at
it, and will also wear conservative attire. The notion of dressing up modestly
according to 1 Timothy 2: 9 is that women will dress themselves respectfully, thus
will not wear impolite clothing one of them is a narrow garment that will show body
parts. The notion of dressing with no braids based on 1 Timothy 2: 9 is that women
will not be busy spending time just to decorate their hair, and will not show any
striking hairstyles. The notion of the meaning of costly attire in the context of 1
Timothy 2: 9 is a garment bought with a personal motive to boast.
