1 Timothy 2
1 And so I beg you, first of all, to make supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings for all men,
I urge then, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,
2 for kings, and for all who are in high places, so that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and chastity.
for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead quiet and peaceful lives in all godliness and dignity.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
For this is good and acceptable before God our Savior,
4 who wants all men to be saved and to arrive at an acknowledgment of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and of 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 redemption for all, as a testimony in its proper time.
who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
7 Of this testimony, I have been appointed a preacher and an Apostle, (I speak the truth, I do not lie) as a teacher of the Gentiles, in faith and in truth.
For this testimony I was appointed to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. (I am speaking the truth in Christ; I am not lying.)
8 Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.
Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.
9 Similarly also, women should be dressed fittingly, adorning themselves with compunction and restraint, and not with plaited hair, nor gold, nor pearls, nor costly attire,
Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and discretion, not with elaborately braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,
10 but in a manner proper for women who are professing piety by means of good works.
but with good works, which is proper for women who profess godly reverence.
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.
A woman should learn quietly with full submission.
12 For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to be in authority over a man, but to be in silence.
I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not seduced, but the woman, having been seduced, was in transgression.
And Adam was not the one who was deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.
15 Yet she will be saved by bearing children, if she has continued in faith and love, and in sanctification accompanied by self-restraint.
Nevertheless, women will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
