1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,
I exhort thee, therefore, first of all, that thou present to God supplication, and prayer, and intercession, and thanksgiving, for all men:
2 for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
for kings and magistrates, that we may dwell in a quiet and tranquil habitation, with all reverence for God, and with purity.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
For this is good and acceptable before God our life-giver;
4 who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
who would have all men live, and be converted to the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
For God is one; and the mediator between God and men is one, namely the man Jesus the Messiah;
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,
who gave himself a ransom for every man; a testimony that arrived in due time,
7 to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
of which I am constituted a herald and legate. I speak the truth, and do not lie, for I am the teacher of the Gentiles in the belief of the truth.
8 I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
I desire therefore, that men may pray in every place, while they lift up their hands with purity, without wrath, and without disputations.
9 In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,
So also, that women appear in a chaste fashion of dress; and that their adorning be with modesty and chastity; not with curls, or with gold, or with pearls, or with splendid robes;
10 but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.
but with good works, as becometh women who profess reverence for God.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.
Let a woman learn in silence, with all submission:
12 But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
for I do not allow a woman to teach, or to be assuming over the man; but let her remain in stillness.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
For Adam was first formed, and then Eve.
14 Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
And Adam was not seduced, but the woman was seduced and transgressed the command.
15 but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.
Yet she shall live by means of her children, if they continue in the faith, and in love, and in sanctity, and in chastity.
