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 made—supplications, prayers, intercessions, thankgivings, 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.
In behalf of kings, and all them who are, in eminent station; in order that, an undisturbed, and quiet life, we may lead, in all godliness and gravity:
3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
This, is comely and acceptable before our Saviour God,
4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Who willeth, all men, to be saved, and, unto a personal knowledge of truth, to come;
5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
For there is, one, God, one, mediator also, between God and men, —a 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 in behalf of all, —the testimony, in its own fit 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.
Unto which, I, have been appointed proclaimer and apostle—Truth I speak, I utter no falsehood—a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.
I am minded, therefore, that—the men in every place be offering prayer, uplifting hands of lovingkindness, apart from anger and disputings;
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 the same way, that, the women, in seemly attire, with modesty and sober-mindedness, be adorning themselves, —not with plaitings and ornamentation of gold, or with pearls, or with costly apparel, —
10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
But, which becometh women promising godliness, through means of good works.
11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.
Let, a woman, in quietness, be learning 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, teaching—unto a woman, I do not permit, nor yet to have authority over a man, —but to be in quietness;
13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.
For, Adam, first was 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, whereas, the woman, having been wholly deceived, hath come to be, in transgression;
15 Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
She shall be saved, however, through means of the child-bearing, —if they abide in faith, and love, and holiness, with sobermindedness. Faithful, the saying.
