1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort, therefore, first of all, that there be made—supplications, prayers, intercessions, thankgivings, in behalf of all men,
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men
2 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:
—on behalf of kings and all who are in authority, that we may live a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
3 This, is comely and acceptable before our Saviour God,
Because this is good and pleasing to our Savior God,
4 Who willeth, all men, to be saved, and, unto a personal knowledge of truth, to come;
who desires all men to be saved and to come into a real knowledge of Truth.
5 For there is, one, God, one, mediator also, between God and men, —a man—Christ Jesus:
For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men—a man!—Jesus Christ,
6 Who gave himself a ransom in behalf of all, —the testimony, in its own fit times:
who gave Himself as a ransom on behalf of all people (to be testified in its own seasons),
7 Unto which, I, have been appointed proclaimer and apostle—Truth I speak, I utter no falsehood—a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.
to which ransom I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying—a teacher of nations in faith and truth.
8 I am minded, therefore, that—the men in every place be offering prayer, uplifting hands of lovingkindness, apart from anger and disputings;
So I desire that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.
9 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, —
Similarly the women also, dressing themselves in appropriate clothing, with modesty and good sense; not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
10 But, which becometh women promising godliness, through means of good works.
but with good works, which is appropriate to women who profess godliness.
11 Let, a woman, in quietness, be learning in all submission;
Let a woman learn in silence, in full subordination.
12 But, teaching—unto a woman, I do not permit, nor yet to have authority over a man, —but to be in quietness;
I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
13 For, Adam, first was formed, then Eve,
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And, Adam, was not deceived, whereas, the woman, having been wholly deceived, hath come to be, in transgression;
Also, Adam was not deceived; rather, the woman, being deceived, became a transgressor.
15 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.
However, she will be saved through the Childbirth—if they continue in faith, love and holiness, with self-control.
