and
I Tim 2:9 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 Peter and Timothy, the adornment is an adornment of the woman. But in Titus, it is an adornment of the doctrine of God. So there is a difference in what is being adorned. On one hand, women are to decorate themselves with godliness, as well as modest apparel, etc. On the other hand, the doctrine of God is to be adorned with our faithful behavior.
Of course, the principles apply to all of us. We should all be adorned with godliness, and modest in appearance. And we should all be faithful in all things, especially things committed to our trust, which will bring glory to the Gospel.
