Προς Τιμοθεον Α΄ 2
1 παρακαλω ουν πρωτον παντων ποιεισθαι δεησεισ προσευχασ εντευξεισ ευχαριστιασ υπερ παντων ανθρωπων
I exhort therefore first of all to be made entreaties, prayers intercessions, [and] thanksgivings on behalf of all men,
2 υπερ βασιλεων και παντων των εν υπεροχη οντων ινα ηρεμον και ησυχιον βιον διαγωμεν εν παση ευσεβεια και σεμνοτητι
for kings and all those in authority being, so that a tranquil and quiet life we may lead in all godliness and in [all] dignity.
3 τουτο γαρ καλον και αποδεκτον ενωπιον του σωτηροσ ημων θεου
This (for *k*) [is] good and acceptable before the Savior of us God,
4 οσ παντασ ανθρωπουσ θελει σωθηναι και εισ επιγνωσιν αληθειασ ελθειν
who all men desires to be saved and to [the] knowledge of [the] truth to come.
5 εισ γαρ θεοσ εισ και μεσιτησ θεου και ανθρωπων ανθρωποσ χριστοσ ιησουσ
One for God [there is], one then mediator between God and men, [the] man Christ Jesus
6 ο δουσ εαυτον αντιλυτρον υπερ παντων το μαρτυριον καιροισ ιδιοισ
the [One] having given Himself [as] a ransom for all, the testimony proper times in [their] own,
7 εισ ο ετεθην εγω κηρυξ και αποστολοσ αληθειαν λεγω εν χριστω ου ψευδομαι διδασκαλοσ εθνων εν πιστει και αληθεια
in regard to which was appointed I myself a herald and an apostle — [the] truth I am speaking (in Christ *K*) not I do lie — a teacher of [the] Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 βουλομαι ουν προσευχεσθαι τουσ ανδρασ εν παντι τοπω επαιροντασ οσιουσ χειρασ χωρισ οργησ και διαλογισμου
I desire therefore to pray the men in every place lifting up holy hands apart from anger and (dissension; *NK(O)*)
9 ωσαυτωσ και τασ γυναικασ εν καταστολη κοσμιω μετα αιδουσ και σωφροσυνησ κοσμειν εαυτασ μη εν πλεγμασιν η χρυσω η μαργαριταισ η ιματισμω πολυτελει
likewise also (*k*) women in apparel respectable with modesty and self-control adorning themselves, not with braided hair (or with gold *N(k)O*) or with pearls or with clothing costly,
10 αλλ ο πρεπει γυναιξιν επαγγελλομεναισ θεοσεβειαν δι εργων αγαθων
but with what is becoming to women professing [the] fear of God, through works good.
11 γυνη εν ησυχια μανθανετω εν παση υποταγη
A woman in quietness should learn in all submissiveness;
12 γυναικι δε διδασκειν ουκ επιτρεπω ουδε αυθεντειν ανδροσ αλλ ειναι εν ησυχια
To teach however a woman not I do permit nor to use authority over a man but to be in quietness.
13 αδαμ γαρ πρωτοσ επλασθη ειτα ευα
Adam for first was formed, then Eve.
14 και αδαμ ουκ ηπατηθη η δε γυνη απατηθεισα εν παραβασει γεγονεν
And Adam not was deceived, but the woman (having been deceived *N(k)O*) into transgression has come;
15 σωθησεται δε δια τησ τεκνογονιασ εαν μεινωσιν εν πιστει και αγαπη και αγιασμω μετα σωφροσυνησ
She will be saved however through childbearing if they shall abide in faith and in love and in holiness with self-restraint.
