< 1 Timothy 2 >

1 I exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks be made for all men;
ⲁ̅ϯϯϩⲟ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲉⲙⲓ ϩⲁⲛϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
2 For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
ⲃ̅⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲥⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϧ ⲉϥϩⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉⲙⲣⲁⲩϣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲙⲉⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲉⲧⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
3 For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
ⲅ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥϣⲏⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ.
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

7 For which 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 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety; not with broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array,
ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲓϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ⲉⲩϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲥⲟⲣϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϫⲫⲓⲏϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲗⲥⲉⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛϩⲱⲗⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲛⲁⲙⲏⲓ ⲓⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϣⲉⲛⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛϥ.
10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

15 Notwithstanding, she will be saved in child-bearing, if they continue in faith, and charity, and holiness, with sobriety.
