1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort then, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men;
Παρακαλῶ οὖν, πρῶτον πάντων ποιεῖσθαι δεήσεις, προσευχάς, ἐντεύξεις, εὐχαριστίας, ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀνθρώπων,
2 including kings and all who are in high station, in order that we may live peaceful and tranquil lives with all godliness and gravity.
ὑπὲρ βασιλέων καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐν ὑπεροχῇ ὄντων, ἵνα ἤρεμον καὶ ἡσύχιον βίον διάγωμεν ἐν πάσῃ εὐσεβείᾳ καὶ σεμνότητι.
3 This is right, and is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour,
Τοῦτο καλὸν καὶ ἀπόδεκτον ἐνώπιον τοῦ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν, ˚Θεοῦ,
4 who is willing for all mankind to be saved and come to a full knowledge of the truth.
ὃς πάντας ἀνθρώπους θέλει σωθῆναι, καὶ εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας ἐλθεῖν.
5 For there is but one God and but one Mediator between God and men--Christ Jesus, Himself man;
Εἷς γὰρ ˚Θεός, εἷς καὶ μεσίτης ˚Θεοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπων, ἄνθρωπος ˚Χριστὸς ˚Ἰησοῦς,
6 who gave Himself as the redemption price for all--a fact testified to at its own appointed time,
ὁ δοὺς ἑαυτὸν ἀντίλυτρον ὑπὲρ πάντων, καὶ μαρτύριον καιροῖς ἰδίοις,
7 and of which I have been appointed a herald and an Apostle (I am speaking the truth: it is not a fiction), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
εἰς ὃ ἐτέθην ἐγὼ κῆρυξ καὶ ἀπόστολος (ἀλήθειαν λέγω ἐν ˚Χριστῷ, οὐ ψεύδομαι), διδάσκαλος ἐθνῶν ἐν γνώσει καὶ ἀληθείᾳ.
8 So then I would have the men everywhere pray, lifting to God holy hands which are unstained with anger or strife;
Βούλομαι οὖν, προσεύχεσθαι τοὺς ἄνδρας ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ, ἐπαίροντας ὁσίους χεῖρας χωρὶς ὀργῆς καὶ διαλογισμοῦ.
9 and I would have the women dress becomingly, with modesty and self-control, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls or costly clothes,
Ὡσαύτως γυναῖκας ἐν καταστολῇ κοσμίῳ μετὰ αἰδοῦς καὶ σωφροσύνης κοσμεῖν ἑαυτάς, μὴ ἐν πλέγμασιν, καὶ χρυσῷ, ἢ μαργαρίταις, ἢ ἱματισμῷ πολυτελεῖ,
10 but--as befits women making a claim to godliness--with the ornament of good works.
ἀλλʼ ὃ πρέπει γυναιξὶν ἐπαγγελλομέναις θεοσέβειαν, διʼ ἔργων ἀγαθῶν.
11 A woman should quietly learn from others with entire submissiveness.
Γυνὴ ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ μανθανέτω ἐν πάσῃ ὑποταγῇ.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man, but she must remain silent.
Διδάσκειν δὲ γυναικὶ οὐκ ἐπιτρέπω, οὐδὲ αὐθεντεῖν ἀνδρός, ἀλλʼ εἶναι ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ.
13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve;
Ἀδὰμ γὰρ πρῶτος ἐπλάσθη, εἶτα Εὕα·
14 and Adam was not deceived, but his wife was thoroughly deceived, and so became involved in transgression.
καὶ Ἀδὰμ οὐκ ἠπατήθη, ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἐξαπατηθεῖσα, ἐν παραβάσει γέγονεν.
15 Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint.
Σωθήσεται δὲ διὰ τῆς τεκνογονίας, ἐὰν μείνωσιν ἐν πίστει, καὶ ἀγάπῃ, καὶ ἁγιασμῷ, μετὰ σωφροσύνης.
