1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings, be made for all people:
Moreover, first of all things, I exhort you, that prayers, supplications, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made in behalf of 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 all who are in authority; in order that we may lead a peaceable and quiet life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
This is beautiful 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 wishes all men to be saved, and to come to the perfect knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and humanity, a human, Christ Jesus,
For there is one God, and there is also 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;
the one having given himself a ransom for all, a testimony in due time;
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.
in which I have been placed a herald and an apostle I speak the truth, I lie not, a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and in truth.
8 I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
Therefore I wish that men in every place would all pray, holding up holy hands, without wrath 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;
likewise that the women adorn themselves in comely apparel, with modesty and prudence; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly garments;
10 but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
but whatsoever becomes women professing godliness, through good works.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
Let a woman learn in silence in all submission;
12 But I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
but I do not permit a woman to dictate or usurp authority over her husband, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
For Adam was first created, then Eve.
14 Adam was not deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived 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.
but she shall be saved through child-bearing, if they may abide in faith and in divine love and in sanctification with prudence.
