1 Timothy 2
1 My desire is, first of all, that you will make requests and prayers and give praise for all men;
Παρακαλῶ οὖν πρῶτον πάντων ποιεῖσθαι δεήσεις, προσευχάς, ἐντεύξεις, εὐχαριστίας, ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀνθρώπων,
2 For kings and all those in authority; so that we may have a calm and quiet life in all fear of God and serious behaviour.
ὑπὲρ βασιλέων καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐν ὑπεροχῇ ὄντων, ἵνα ἤρεμον καὶ ἡσύχιον βίον διάγωμεν ἐν πάσῃ εὐσεβείᾳ καὶ σεμνότητι.
3 This is good and pleasing in the eyes of God our Saviour;
τοῦτο καλὸν καὶ ἀπόδεκτον ἐνώπιον τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν θεοῦ,
4 Whose desire is that all men may have salvation and come to the knowledge of what is true.
ὃς πάντας ἀνθρώπους θέλει σωθῆναι καὶ εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας ἐλθεῖν.
5 For there is one God and one peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
εἷς γὰρ θεός, εἷς καὶ μεσίτης θεοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπων ἄνθρωπος, χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς,
6 Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;
ὁ δοὺς ἑαυτὸν ἀντίλυτρον ὑπὲρ πάντων, τὸ μαρτύριον καιροῖς ἰδίοις,
7 And of this I became a preacher and an Apostle (what I say is true, not false, ) and a teacher of the Gentiles in the true faith.
εἰς ὃ ἐτέθην ἐγὼ κήρυξ καὶ ἀπόστολος, (ἀλήθειαν λέγω, οὐ ψεύδομαι, ) διδάσκαλος ἐθνῶν ἐν πίστει καὶ ἀληθείᾳ.
8 It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or argument.
βούλομαι οὖν προσεύχεσθαι τοὺς ἄνδρας ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ἐπαίροντας ὁσίους χεῖρας χωρὶς ὀργῆς καὶ διαλογισμοῦ·
9 And that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with twisted hair and gold or jewels or robes of great price;
ὡσαύτως [καὶ] γυναῖκας ἐν καταστολῇ κοσμίῳ μετὰ αἰδοῦς καὶ σωφροσύνης κοσμεῖν ἑαυτάς, μὴ ἐν πλέγμασιν καὶ χρυσῷ ἢ μαργαρίταις ἢ ἱματισμῷ πολυτελεῖ,
10 But clothed with good works, as is right for women who are living in the fear of God.
ἀλλ᾽ ὃ πρέπει γυναιξὶν ἐπαγγελλομέναις θεοσέβειαν, δι᾽ ἔργων ἀγαθῶν.
11 Let a woman quietly take the place of a learner and be under authority.
γυνὴ ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ μανθανέτω ἐν πάσῃ ὑποταγῇ·
12 In my opinion it is right for a woman not to be a teacher, or to have rule over a man, but to be quiet.
διδάσκειν δὲ γυναικὶ οὐκ ἐπιτρέπω, οὐδὲ αὐθεντεῖν ἀνδρός, ἀλλὰ εἶναι ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve;
Ἀδὰμ γὰρ πρῶτος ἐπλάσθη, εἶτα Εὖα.
14 And Adam was not taken by deceit, but the woman, being tricked, became a wrongdoer.
καὶ Ἀδὰμ οὐκ ἠπατήθη, ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἐξαπατηθεῖσα ἐν παραβάσει γέγονεν·
15 But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.
σωθήσεται δὲ διὰ τῆς τεκνογονίας, ἐὰν μείνωσιν ἐν πίστει καὶ ἀγάπῃ καὶ ἁγιασμῷ μετὰ σωφροσύνης.
