1 Timothy 2
1 I Exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giuing of thanks be made for all men,
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men
2 For Kings, and for all that are in authoritie, that we may leade a quiet and a peaceable life, in all godlinesse and honestie.
—on behalf of kings and all who are in authority, that we may live a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Sauiour,
Because this is good and pleasing to our Savior God,
4 Who will that all men shalbe saued, and come vnto the acknowledging of the trueth.
who desires all men to be saved and to come into a real knowledge of Truth.
5 For there is one God, and one Mediatour betweene God and man, which is the man Christ Iesus,
For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men—a man!—Jesus Christ,
6 Who gaue himselfe a ransome for all men, to be that testimonie in due time,
who gave Himself as a ransom on behalf of all people (to be testified in its own seasons),
7 Whereunto I am ordeined a preacher and an Apostle (I speake the trueth in Christ, and lie not) euen a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and veritie.
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.
8 I will therefore that the men pray, euery where lifting vp pure hands without wrath, or douting.
So I desire that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.
9 Likewise also the women, that they aray themselues in comely apparell, with shamefastnes and modestie, not with broyded heare, or gold, or pearles, or costly apparell,
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,
10 But (as becommeth women that professe the feare of God) with good workes.
but with good works, which is appropriate to women who profess godliness.
11 Let the woman learne in silence with all subiection.
Let a woman learn in silence, in full subordination.
12 I permit not a woman to teache, neither to vsurpe authoritie ouer the man, but to be in silence.
I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eue.
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceiued, but the woman was deceiued, and was in the transgression.
Also, Adam was not deceived; rather, the woman, being deceived, became a transgressor.
15 Notwithstanding, through bearing of children she shalbe saued if they continue in faith, and loue, and holines with modestie.
However, she will be saved through the Childbirth—if they continue in faith, love and holiness, with self-control.
