1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made for all men;
Moreover, first of all things, I exhort you, that prayers, supplications, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made in behalf of all men;
2 for kings and all that are in dignity, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and gravity;
for kings and all who are in authority; in order that we may lead a peaceable and quiet life in all godliness and honesty.
3 for this is good and acceptable before our Saviour God,
This is beautiful and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 who desires that all men should be saved and come to [the] knowledge of [the] truth.
who wishes all men to be saved, and to come to the perfect knowledge of the truth.
5 For God is one, and [the] mediator of God and men one, [the] man Christ Jesus,
For there is one God, and there is also one mediator of God and men, the man, Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony [to be rendered] in its own times;
the one having given himself a ransom for all, a testimony in due time;
7 to which I have been appointed a herald and apostle, (I speak [the] truth, I do not lie, ) a teacher of [the] nations in faith and truth.
in which I have been placed a herald and an apostle I speak the truth, I lie not, a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and in truth.
8 I will therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up pious hands, without wrath or reasoning.
Therefore I wish that men in every place would all pray, holding up holy hands, without wrath and doubting:
9 In like manner also that the women in decent deportment and dress adorn themselves with modesty and discretion, not with plaited [hair] and gold, or pearls, or costly clothing,
likewise that the women adorn themselves in comely apparel, with modesty and prudence; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly garments;
10 but, what becomes women making profession of the fear of God, by good works.
but whatsoever becomes women professing godliness, through good works.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness in all subjection;
Let a woman learn in silence in all submission;
12 but I do not suffer a woman to teach nor to exercise authority over man, but to be in quietness;
but I do not permit a woman to dictate or usurp authority over her husband, but to be in silence.
13 for Adam was formed first, then Eve:
For Adam was first created, then Eve.
14 and Adam was not deceived; but the woman, having been deceived, was in transgression.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression;
15 But she shall be preserved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with discretion.
but she shall be saved through child-bearing, if they may abide in faith and in divine love and in sanctification with prudence.
