< 1 Timothy 2 >

1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings, be made for all people:
I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men:
2 for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,
4 who desires all people to be saved and come to 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, and one mediator between God and humanity, a human, Messiah Jesus,
For there is one God, and one mediator of 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 redemption for all, a testimony in due times.
7 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.
Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle, (I say the truth, I lie not, ) a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention.
9 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;
In like manner women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire,
10 but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
But as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
Let the woman learn in silence, with all subjection.
12 But I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
For Adam was first formed; then Eve.
14 Adam was not deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
And Adam was not seduced; but the woman being seduced, was in the transgression.
15 but she will be delivered through the childbirth, if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
Yet she shall be saved through childbearing; if she continue in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
