1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:
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, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,
particularly for kings, and all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all piety and virtue.
3 for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Saviour,
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour:
4 who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;
who is willing that all men should be saved, and therefore come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 for one [is] God, one also [is] mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus:
6 who did give himself a ransom for all — the testimony in its own times —
who gave himself a ransom for all, a testimony to be published in due time,
7 in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle — truth I say in Christ, I do not lie — a teacher of nations, 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 I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;
I direct therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath and debate:
9 in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,
likewise that women dress themselves in decent apparel with modesty and prudence, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly garments;
10 but — which becometh women professing godly piety — through good works.
but in good works, as becometh women professing godliness.
11 Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,
Let the woman learn in silence with all submission: but I permit not a woman to teach,
12 and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,
nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be silent.
13 for Adam was first formed, then Eve,
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,
And Adam was not seduced by the serpent, but the woman being led astray was first in the transgression.
15 and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
Yet shall she be saved through childbirth, if they continue in faith and love, in holiness and modesty.
