1 Timothy 2
1 Therefore first of all, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,
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, in order that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 This is good and acceptable before God our savior.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 He desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator for God and man, the man Christ Jesus.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 He gave himself as a ransom for all, as the testimony at the right time.
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
7 For this purpose, I myself, was made a herald and an apostle. I am telling the truth. I am not lying. I am a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
Whereunto 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 Therefore, I want men in every place to pray and to lift up holy hands without anger or arguing.
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
9 Likewise, I want the women to dress themselves in proper clothing, with modesty and self-control. They should not have braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or expensive clothing.
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
10 I want them to dress with what is appropriate for women who profess godliness through good works.
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
11 A woman should learn in silence and with all submission.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to live 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 Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 However, she will be saved through bearing children, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with soundness of mind.
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
