1 Timothy 2
1 First of all, I want to encourage you to pray for everybody: make requests of God, ask on their behalf, and give thanks.
Jeg formaner da først af alt til, at der holdes Bønner, Påkaldelser, Forbønner, Taksigelser for alle Mennesker,
2 Pray like this for kings and all types of leaders so that we may live quiet and peaceful lives, always thinking about God and taking life seriously.
for Konger og alle dem, som ere i Højhed, at vi må leve et roligt og stille Levned i al Gudsfrygt og Ærbarhed;
3 This is what is good, and what pleases God our Savior.
dette er smukt og velbehageligt for Gud, vor Frelser,
4 He wants everyone to be saved, and come to understand what truth really is.
som vil, at alle Mennesker skulle frelses og komme til Sandheds Erkendelse.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and mankind—the man Christ Jesus.
Thi der er een Gud, og også een Mellemmand imellem Gud og Mennesker, Mennesket Kristus Jesus,
6 He gave himself so we could all be won back, demonstrating the evidence at the right time.
som gav sig selv til en Genløsnings Betaling for alle, hvilket er Vidnesbyrdet i sin Tid,
7 I was appointed to share this message and be its messenger, a teacher to the foreigners about trusting God and the truth (I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth!)
og for dette er jeg bleven sat til Prædiker og Apostel (jeg siger Sandhed, jeg lyver ikke), en Lærer for Hedninger i Tro og Sandhed.
8 What I really want is for men everywhere to pray sincerely to God. No anger or arguments!
Så vil jeg da, at Mændene på ethvert Sted, hvor de bede, skulle opløfte fromme Hænder uden Vrede og Trætte.
9 In the same way, women should dress sensibly, modestly, and appropriately. They should be attractive not in their hairstyle or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
Ligeså, at Kvinder skulle pryde sig i sømmelig Klædning med Blufærdighed og Ærbarhed, ikke med Fletninger og Guld eller Perler eller kostbar Klædning,
10 but by the good things they do—as is appropriate for women who claim to follow God.
men, som det sømmer sig Kvinder, der bekende sig til Gudsfrygt, med gode Gerninger.
11 Women should learn quietly, respecting their place.
En Kvinde bør i Stilhed lade sig belære, med al Lydighed;
12 I don't allow women to be instructors, or to dominate men; let them remain quiet.
men at være Lærer tilsteder jeg ikke en Kvinde, ikke heller at byde over Manden, men at være i Stilhed.
13 For Adam was made first, and then Eve.
Thi Adam blev dannet først, derefter Eva;
14 Adam wasn't deceived, but Eve was completely deceived, and she fell into sin.
og Adam blev ikke bedraget, men Kvinden blev bedraget og er falden i Overtrædelse.
15 However, women will be saved through becoming mothers, as long as they continue to trust and love, and to live holy, sensible lives.
Men hun skal frelses igennem sin Barnefødsel, dersom de blive i Tro og Kærlighed og Hellighed med Ærbarhed.
