< 1 Timothy 2 >
1 I exhort therefore first of all to be made entreaties, prayers intercessions, [and] thanksgivings on behalf of all men,
2 for kings and all those in authority being, so that a tranquil and quiet life we may lead in all godliness and in [all] dignity.
3 This (for *k*) [is] good and acceptable before the Savior of us God,
4 who all men desires to be saved and to [the] knowledge of [the] truth to come.
5 One for God [there is], one then mediator between God and men, [the] man Christ Jesus
6 the [One] having given Himself [as] a ransom for all, the testimony proper times in [their] own,
7 in regard to which was appointed I myself a herald and an apostle — [the] truth I am speaking (in Christ *K*) not I do lie — a teacher of [the] Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 I desire therefore to pray the men in every place lifting up holy hands apart from anger and (dissension; *NK(O)*)
9 likewise also (*k*) women in apparel respectable with modesty and self-control adorning themselves, not with braided hair (or with gold *N(k)O*) or with pearls or with clothing costly,
10 but with what is becoming to women professing [the] fear of God, through works good.
11 A woman in quietness should learn in all submissiveness;
12 To teach however a woman not I do permit nor to use authority over a man but to be in quietness.
13 Adam for first was formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam not was deceived, but the woman (having been deceived *N(k)O*) into transgression has come;
15 She will be saved however through childbearing if they shall abide in faith and in love and in holiness with self-restraint.
