Paul urged us to pray for our leaders.
Those who choose to be leaders make tough decisions every day. These decisions affect our lives and the lives of every other person under the jurisdiction of the leader. To make good decisions, our leaders need the stamina, wisdom, and courage that can only come from God. Whether we agree with them or not, our leaders still need our prayers for protection and guidance.
Paul urged women to dress and act appropriately in church.
This applies to men and women alike, but perhaps there were some specific instances where women were doing inappropriate things that Paul was addressing. We should all take care that our appearance and behavior in church honors the Lord and shows respect for others in the congregation. Merely showing up is not an act of worship - what we do after we show up is.
