1 Timothy 2
1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone—
Moreover, first of all things, I exhort you, that prayers, supplications, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made in behalf of 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 all who are in authority; in order that we may lead a peaceable and quiet life in all godliness and honesty.
3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
This is beautiful 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 wishes all men to be saved, and to come to the perfect 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 there is also 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.
the one having given himself a ransom for all, a testimony in due time;
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.
in which I have been placed a herald and an apostle I speak the truth, I lie not, a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and in truth.
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.
Therefore I wish that men in every place would all pray, holding up holy hands, without wrath and doubting:
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,
likewise that the women adorn themselves in comely apparel, with modesty and prudence; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly garments;
10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
but whatsoever becomes women professing godliness, through good works.
11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.
Let a woman learn in silence in all submission;
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.
but I do not permit a woman to dictate or usurp authority over her husband, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.
For Adam was first created, 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 the transgression;
15 Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
but she shall be saved through child-bearing, if they may abide in faith and in divine love and in sanctification with prudence.
