1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort, therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men:
2 for kings, and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and gravity.
For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,
4 who is willing that all men should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus:
6 who gave himself a ransom for all, of which the testimony has been given in its proper times,
Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times.
7 to give which testimony I have been appointed a preacher and an apostle; (I speak the truth, and lie not; ) a teacher of the Gentiles in faithfulness and in truth.
Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle, (I say the truth, I lie not, ) a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 I will, therefore, that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands without wrath and disputation.
I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention.
9 In like manner, also, I will that the women adorn themselves with decorous dress, with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly raiment,
In like manner women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire,
10 but with good works; since this becomes women who profess godliness.
But as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works.
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
Let the woman learn in silence, with all subjection.
12 I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
For Adam was first formed; then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived: but the woman being deceived, was in transgression;
And Adam was not seduced; but the woman being seduced, was in the transgression.
15 but they shall be saved by the bearing of children, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with sobriety.
Yet she shall be saved through childbearing; if she continue in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
