1 Timothy 2
1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone—
I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings 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 high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.
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 Saviour,
4 who wants everyone to be saved and to 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 there is 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 as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.
Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due 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.
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 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.
I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention.
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 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 deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
But as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works.
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.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use 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 seduced; but the woman being seduced, was in the transgression.
15 Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
Yet she shall be saved through childbearing; if she continue in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
