< 1 Timothy 2 >

1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,
ⲁ̅ϯϯϩⲟ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲧⲱⲃϩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲉⲙⲓ ϩⲁⲛϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
2 for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
ⲃ̅⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲥⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϧ ⲉϥϩⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉⲙⲣⲁⲩϣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲙⲉⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲉⲧⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper 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.

8 I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

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,
ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲓϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ⲉⲩϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲥⲟⲣϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϫⲫⲓⲏϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲗⲥⲉⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛϩⲱⲗⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲛⲁⲙⲏⲓ ⲓⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϣⲉⲛⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛϥ.
10 but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.

11 Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.

12 But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϯⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲥⲉⲣϫⲱϫ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥ ϭⲓ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙⲣⲁⲩϣ.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

14 Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲇⲁⲙ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩ⳿ϣⲉⲣϩⲁⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲁⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲥⲓⲥ.
15 but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.
