Women to be modest. Probably no one applies this verse only to the church meeting. It certainly speaks to everyday life, just as 1 Timothy 2:8 does. Notice that modest here refers to overdressing. Not with fancy hair styles. The point here is not to dress in such a way as to "show off." Read Isaiah's description in Isaiah 3:16-24. Tertullian writes: "What is the use of showing a decent and Christian simplicity in your face, while you load the rest of your body with the dangling absurdities of pomps and vanities?" Compare 1 Peter 3:1-6 and notes.
