1 Timothy 2
1 Therefore first of all, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,
This then I exhort thee first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings he 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.
particularly for kings, and all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all piety and virtue.
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 is willing that all men should be saved, and therefore come to 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, a testimony to be published 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.
for which I was appointed a herald and an apostle. I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not; I am a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Therefore, I want men in every place to pray and to lift up holy hands without anger or arguing.
I direct therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath and debate:
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.
likewise that women dress themselves in decent apparel with modesty and prudence, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly garments;
10 I want them to dress with what is appropriate for women who profess godliness through good works.
but in good works, as becometh women professing godliness.
11 A woman should learn in silence and with all submission.
Let the woman learn in silence with all submission: but I permit not a woman to teach,
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to live in quietness.
nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be silent.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
And Adam was not seduced by the serpent, but the woman being led astray was first 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.
Yet shall she be saved through childbirth, if they continue in faith and love, in holiness and modesty.
