SCRIPTURE

"but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works." — 1 Timothy 2:10 (ASV)

Becometh (πρεπε). Old word for seemly. Paul wishes women to wear "becoming" clothes, but θεοσεβειαν (godliness, from θεοσεβης, John 9:31, θεοσ, σεβομα, worship) is part of the "style" desired. Only here in N.T. Good dress and good works combined.
