< 1 Timothy 2 >
1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings, be made for all people:
2 for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
4 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 humanity, a human, Messiah Yeshua,
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;
7 to which I was appointed a preacher and an emissary (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the non-Jews in faith and truth.
8 I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
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;
10 but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness 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.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Havah.
14 Adam was not deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
15 but she will be delivered through the childbirth, if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
