1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made for all men;
Therfor Y biseche first of alle thingis, that bisechingis, preieris, axyngis, doyngis of thankyngis, ben maad for alle men,
2 for kings and all that are in dignity, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and gravity;
for kingis and alle that ben set in hiynesse, that we leden a quyet and a pesible lijf, in al pite and chastite.
3 for this is good and acceptable before our Saviour God,
For this thing is good and acceptid bifor God,
4 who desires that all men should be saved and come to [the] knowledge of [the] truth.
oure sauyour, that wole that alle men ben maad saaf, and that thei come to the knowyng of treuthe.
5 For God is one, and [the] mediator of God and men one, [the] man Christ Jesus,
For o God and a mediatour is of God and of men, a man Crist Jhesus,
6 who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony [to be rendered] in its own times;
that yaf him silf redempcioun for alle men. Whos witnessing is confermyd in his tymes;
7 to which I have been appointed a herald and apostle, (I speak [the] truth, I do not lie, ) a teacher of [the] nations in faith and truth.
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.
8 I will therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up pious hands, without wrath or reasoning.
Therfor Y wole, that men preye in al place, liftinge vp clene hondis with outen wraththe and strijf.
9 In like manner also that the women in decent deportment and dress adorn themselves with modesty and discretion, not with plaited [hair] and gold, or pearls, or costly clothing,
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,
10 but, what becomes women making profession of the fear of God, by good works.
biheetinge pite bi good werkis.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness in all subjection;
A womman lerne in silence, with al subieccioun.
12 but I do not suffer a woman to teach nor to exercise authority over man, but to be in quietness;
But Y suffre not a womman to teche, nether to haue lordschip on the hosebonde, but to be in silence.
13 for Adam was formed first, then Eve:
For Adam was first formed, aftirward Eue;
14 and Adam was not deceived; but the woman, having been deceived, was in transgression.
and Adam was not disseyued, but the womman was disseyued, in breking of the lawe.
15 But she shall be preserved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with discretion.
But sche schal be sauyd bi generacioun of children, if sche dwellith perfitli in feith, and loue, and hoolynesse, with sobrenesse.
