< 1 Timothy 2 >

1 And so I beg you, first of all, to make supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings for all men,
I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:
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, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Saviour,
4 who wants all men to be saved and to arrive at an acknowledgment of the truth.
who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;
5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
for one [is] God, one also [is] mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself as a redemption for all, as a testimony in its proper time.
who did give himself a ransom for all — the testimony in its own times —
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.
in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle — truth I say in Christ, I do not lie — a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.
8 Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.
I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;
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,
in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,
10 but in a manner proper for women who are professing piety by means of good works.
but — which becometh women professing godly piety — through good works.
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.
Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,
12 For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to be in authority over a man, but to be in silence.
and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
for Adam was first formed, then Eve,
14 And Adam was not seduced, but the woman, having been seduced, was in transgression.
and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,
15 Yet she will be saved by bearing children, if she has continued in faith and love, and in sanctification accompanied by self-restraint.
and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
