1 Timothy 2
1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,
This then I exhort thee first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings he made for all men;
2 for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
particularly for kings, and all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all piety and virtue.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour:
4 who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
who is willing that all men should be saved, and therefore come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
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,
who gave himself a ransom for all, a testimony to be published in due 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.
for which I was appointed a herald and an apostle. I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not; I am 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.
I direct therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath and debate:
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,
likewise that women dress themselves in decent apparel with modesty and prudence, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly garments;
10 but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.
but in good works, as becometh women professing godliness.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.
Let the woman learn in silence with all submission: but I permit not a woman to teach,
12 But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be silent.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
And Adam was not seduced by the serpent, but the woman being led astray was first in the transgression.
15 but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.
Yet shall she be saved through childbirth, if they continue in faith and love, in holiness and modesty.
