1 Timothy 2

1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men;2 for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;4 who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.5 For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus,6 who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times;7 whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.8 I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.9 In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;10 but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.11 Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.12 But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve;14 and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:15 but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.

1 Timothy 2

Prayer for All People

1 First of all, then, I urge that requests,t prayers, intercessions, and thanks be offered on behalf of all people,t2 even for kingst and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.3 Such prayer for allt is good and welcomed before God our Savior,4 since he wantst all peoplet to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.5 For there is one God and one intermediaryt between God and humanity, Christ Jesus, himself human,t6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, revealing God’s purpose at his appointed time.s7 For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle – I am telling the truth;s I am not lying – and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8 So I want the ment to prays in every place, lifting up holy handss without anger or dispute.

Conduct of Women

9 Likewises the women are to dresst in suitable apparel, with modesty and self-control.t Their adornment must not bet with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive clothing,10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess reverence for God.11 A woman must learnt quietly with all submissiveness.12 But I do not allows a woman to teach or exercise authorityt over a man. She must remain quiet.t13 For Adam was formed first and then Eve.14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, because she was fully deceived,t fell into transgression.t

15 But she will be delivered through childbearing,t if shet continues in faith and love and holiness with self-control.
