1 Timothy 2

1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone—

2 for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.

3 For this is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.

7 For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth in Christ; I am not lying about anything.

8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.

9 Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,

10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.

11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.

12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.

13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.

14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.

15 Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

1 ¶ I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3 For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

9 ¶ In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

1 I exhort therefore, that before all things, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men,

2 For kings and for all authorities, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all godliness and honourableness.

3 For these things are good, and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,

4 Who desires all men to be helped, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, even the man Christ JEsus,

6 Who gave himself for salvation for all, that these things should be preached in his time;

7 For I am set apart to be a preacher and an apostle (speaking the truth in Christ, and not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8 I will therefore that men pray in every place, and lift up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

9 Likewise also the women, that they adorn themselves in dainty apparel with shame and modesty, not with braids, or gold, or pearls, or precious apparel,

10 But as it behoveth women to shew godliness by good works.

11 let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness.

12 But I will not suffer a woman to teach, neither will I suffer her to be master over her husband, but to be quiet.

13 For Adam was made first, and Eve after him.

14 And Adam was not deceived: but the woman was deceived, and brought in transgression.

15 But they shall be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, and in love, and in sanctification, with chastening.
