1 Timothy 2
1 Therfor Y biseche first of alle thingis, that bisechingis, preieris, axyngis, doyngis of thankyngis, ben maad for alle men,
I Exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giuing of thanks be made for all men,
2 for kingis and alle that ben set in hiynesse, that we leden a quyet and a pesible lijf, in al pite and chastite.
For Kings, and for all that are in authoritie, that we may leade a quiet and a peaceable life, in all godlinesse and honestie.
3 For this thing is good and acceptid bifor God,
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Sauiour,
4 oure sauyour, that wole that alle men ben maad saaf, and that thei come to the knowyng of treuthe.
Who will that all men shalbe saued, and come vnto the acknowledging of the trueth.
5 For o God and a mediatour is of God and of men, a man Crist Jhesus,
For there is one God, and one Mediatour betweene God and man, which is the man Christ Iesus,
6 that yaf him silf redempcioun for alle men. Whos witnessing is confermyd in his tymes;
Who gaue himselfe a ransome for all men, to be that testimonie in due time,
7 in which Y am set a prechour and an apostle. For Y seye treuthe, and Y lie not, that am a techere of hethene men in feith and in treuthe.
Whereunto I am ordeined a preacher and an Apostle (I speake the trueth in Christ, and lie not) euen a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and veritie.
8 Therfor Y wole, that men preye in al place, liftinge vp clene hondis with outen wraththe and strijf.
I will therefore that the men pray, euery where lifting vp pure hands without wrath, or douting.
9 Also wymmen in couenable abite, with schamefastnesse and sobrenesse araiynge hem silf, not in writhun heeris, ethir in gold, ethir peerlis, ethir preciouse cloth; but that that bicometh wymmen,
Likewise also the women, that they aray themselues in comely apparell, with shamefastnes and modestie, not with broyded heare, or gold, or pearles, or costly apparell,
10 biheetinge pite bi good werkis.
But (as becommeth women that professe the feare of God) with good workes.
11 A womman lerne in silence, with al subieccioun.
Let the woman learne in silence with all subiection.
12 But Y suffre not a womman to teche, nether to haue lordschip on the hosebonde, but to be in silence.
I permit not a woman to teache, neither to vsurpe authoritie ouer the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, aftirward Eue;
For Adam was first formed, then Eue.
14 and Adam was not disseyued, but the womman was disseyued, in breking of the lawe.
And Adam was not deceiued, but the woman was deceiued, and was in the transgression.
15 But sche schal be sauyd bi generacioun of children, if sche dwellith perfitli in feith, and loue, and hoolynesse, with sobrenesse.
Notwithstanding, through bearing of children she shalbe saued if they continue in faith, and loue, and holines with modestie.
