The development of a woman's way of dressing and the attitude of men in worship currently continues to change and the problem is that the attitude of men and women in worship continues to transform according to the contemporary context, but in the text of 1 Timothy 2:8-15 in the context of the text having a critical historical background study which of course will always be relevant until later in its theological meaning to be analyzed and interpreted, the author tries to study it in a hermeneutic study with the aim of finding out the contextual meaning that can be achieved in the modern era regarding how to dress and behave in worship. The research method used is a qualitative research method to find the theological meaning of the text. Through this discussion the author will offer research results as a new perspective but in accordance with the hermeneutic study of the text to reveal the meaning of the text 1 Timothy 2:8-15 and how both women and men can worship before God and be saved. My thesis in this research is that both Adam, namely men, and Eve, namely women, can worship in the midst of congregational fellowship. This article ends with a conclusion.
