1 Timothy 2
1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men
I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings, be made for all people:
2 —on behalf of kings and all who are in authority, that we may live a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
3 Because this is good and pleasing to our Savior God,
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
4 who desires all men to be saved and to come into a real knowledge of Truth.
who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men—a man!—Jesus Christ,
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and humanity, a human, Christ Jesus,
6 who gave Himself as a ransom on behalf of all people (to be testified in its own seasons),
who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;
7 to which ransom I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying—a teacher of nations in faith and truth.
to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the non-Jews in faith and truth.
8 So I desire that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.
I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
9 Similarly the women also, dressing themselves in appropriate clothing, with modesty and good sense; not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;
10 but with good works, which is appropriate to women who profess godliness.
but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Let a woman learn in silence, in full subordination.
Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
But I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 Also, Adam was not deceived; rather, the woman, being deceived, became a transgressor.
Adam was not deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
15 However, she will be saved through the Childbirth—if they continue in faith, love and holiness, with self-control.
but she will be delivered through the childbirth, if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
