1 tImathiyaH 2
1 mama prathama AdEzO'yaM, prArthanAvinayanivEdanadhanyavAdAH karttavyAH,
Now I exhort, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men;
2 sarvvESAM mAnavAnAM kRtE vizESatO vayaM yat zAntatvEna nirvvirOdhatvEna cEzcarabhaktiM vinItatvanjcAcarantaH kAlaM yApayAmastadarthaM nRpatInAm uccapadasthAnAnjca kRtE tE karttavyAH|
for kings, and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 yatO'smAkaM tArakasyEzvarasya sAkSAt tadEvOttamaM grAhyanjca bhavati,
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,
4 sa sarvvESAM mAnavAnAM paritrANaM satyajnjAnaprAptinjcEcchati|
who wills all men to be saved, and to come to an acknowledgment of the truth.
5 yata EkO'dvitIya IzvarO vidyatE kinjcEzvarE mAnavESu caikO 'dvitIyO madhyasthaH
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, --the man Christ Jesus,
6 sa narAvatAraH khrISTO yIzu rvidyatE yaH sarvvESAM muktE rmUlyam AtmadAnaM kRtavAn| EtEna yEna pramANEnOpayuktE samayE prakAzitavyaM,
who gave himself a ransom for all; --of which the testimony is in its proper season:
7 tadghOSayitA dUtO vizvAsE satyadharmmE ca bhinnajAtIyAnAm upadEzakazcAhaM nyayUjyE, EtadahaM khrISTasya nAmnA yathAtathyaM vadAmi nAnRtaM kathayAmi|
for which I was appointed a herald and an Apostle, (I speak the truth, I do not falsify, ) a teacher to the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 atO mamAbhimatamidaM puruSaiH krOdhasandEhau vinA pavitrakarAn uttOlya sarvvasmin sthAnE prArthanA kriyatAM|
I will, therefore, that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputings.
9 tadvat nAryyO'pi salajjAH saMyatamanasazca satyO yOgyamAcchAdanaM paridadhatu kinjca kEzasaMskAraiH kaNakamuktAbhi rmahArghyaparicchadaizcAtmabhUSaNaM na kurvvatyaH
I like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly raiment:
10 svIkRtEzvarabhaktInAM yOSitAM yOgyaiH satyarmmabhiH svabhUSaNaM kurvvatAM|
but (which becomes women professing godliness, ) with good works.
11 nArI sampUrNavinItatvEna nirvirOdhaM zikSatAM|
Let a woman learn in silence with all submission:
12 nAryyAH zikSAdAnaM puruSAyAjnjAdAnaM vAhaM nAnujAnAmi tayA nirvvirOdhatvam AcaritavyaM|
for I do not allow a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over a man, but to be silent;
13 yataH prathamam AdamastataH paraM havAyAH sRSTi rbabhUva|
for Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 kinjcAdam bhrAntiyuktO nAbhavat yOSidEva bhrAntiyuktA bhUtvAtyAcAriNI babhUva|
Besides, Adam was not deceived: but the woman, being deceived, was in transgression.
15 tathApi nArIgaNO yadi vizvAsE prEmni pavitratAyAM saMyatamanasi ca tiSThati tarhyapatyaprasavavartmanA paritrANaM prApsyati|
However, she shall be saved through child-bearing, if they live in faith, and love, and holiness, with sobriety.
