1 Timothy 2
1 And so I beg you, first of all, to make supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings for all men,
I exhort, therefore, first of all, that there be made—supplications, prayers, intercessions, thankgivings, in behalf of all men,
2 for kings, and for all who are in high places, so that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and chastity.
In behalf of kings, and all them who are, in eminent station; in order that, an undisturbed, and quiet life, we may lead, in all godliness and gravity:
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
This, is comely and acceptable before our Saviour God,
4 who wants all men to be saved and to arrive at an acknowledgment of the truth.
Who willeth, all men, to be saved, and, unto a personal knowledge of truth, to come;
5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
For there is, one, God, one, mediator also, between God and men, —a man—Christ Jesus:
6 who gave himself as a redemption for all, as a testimony in its proper time.
Who gave himself a ransom in behalf of all, —the testimony, in its own fit times:
7 Of this testimony, I have been appointed a preacher and an Apostle, (I speak the truth, I do not lie) as a teacher of the Gentiles, in faith and in truth.
Unto which, I, have been appointed proclaimer and apostle—Truth I speak, I utter no falsehood—a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.
8 Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.
I am minded, therefore, that—the men in every place be offering prayer, uplifting hands of lovingkindness, apart from anger and disputings;
9 Similarly also, women should be dressed fittingly, adorning themselves with compunction and restraint, and not with plaited hair, nor gold, nor pearls, nor costly attire,
In the same way, that, the women, in seemly attire, with modesty and sober-mindedness, be adorning themselves, —not with plaitings and ornamentation of gold, or with pearls, or with costly apparel, —
10 but in a manner proper for women who are professing piety by means of good works.
But, which becometh women promising godliness, through means of good works.
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.
Let, a woman, in quietness, be learning in all submission;
12 For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to be in authority over a man, but to be in silence.
But, teaching—unto a woman, I do not permit, nor yet to have authority over a man, —but to be in quietness;
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
For, Adam, first was formed, then Eve,
14 And Adam was not seduced, but the woman, having been seduced, was in transgression.
And, Adam, was not deceived, whereas, the woman, having been wholly deceived, hath come to be, in transgression;
15 Yet she will be saved by bearing children, if she has continued in faith and love, and in sanctification accompanied by self-restraint.
She shall be saved, however, through means of the child-bearing, —if they abide in faith, and love, and holiness, with sobermindedness. Faithful, the saying.
