1 Timothy 2
1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone—
I exhort, therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
2 for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.
for kings, and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and gravity.
3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
who is willing that all men should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.
who gave himself a ransom for all, of which the testimony has been given in its proper times,
7 For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything.
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.
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.
I will, therefore, that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands without wrath and disputation.
9 Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
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,
10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
but with good works; since this becomes women who profess godliness.
11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.
I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.
And Adam was not deceived: but the woman being deceived, was in transgression;
15 Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
but they shall be saved by the bearing of children, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with sobriety.
