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 there be offered supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings for the whole race of mankind:
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 that are in a state of eminence, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and seriousness.
3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
For this is becoming, and acceptable before God our Saviour;
4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
who wills all men to be saved, and come to the acknowledgment of 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, the testimony to be born in his appointed 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.
of which I am ordained a preacher and apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, ) a teacher 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 then that men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath or 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,
in like manner also that the women dress themselves in decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety; not with plaited tresses, or gold, or pearls, or very costly clothing,
10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
but as 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.
for I permit not a woman to teach in public, or to assume authority over the man, but to abide in silence.
13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.
For Adam was first formed, Eve afterwards.
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, by transgression fell.
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 childbearing, if they abide in faith, and love, and holiness with sobriety.
