< 1 Timothy 2 >

1 I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men—
I exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks be made for all men;
2 for kings, and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all piety and gravity,
For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Savior,
For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
4 who wills all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 for [there is] one God, also one mediator of God and of men—the man Christ Jesus,
For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 who gave Himself [as] a ransom for all—the testimony in its own times—
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
7 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.
For which I am ordained a preacher and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
8 I intend, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, apart from anger and deliberation;
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
9 also the women in like manner, in orderly apparel, to adorn themselves with modesty and sobriety, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or clothing of great price,
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety; not with broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array,
10 but—which becomes women professing godly piety—through good works.
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness in all subjection,
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 and I do not allow a woman to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 for Adam was formed first, then Eve,
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, came into transgression,
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 and she will be saved through the childbearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
Notwithstanding, she will be saved in child-bearing, if they continue in faith, and charity, and holiness, with sobriety.
