1 Timothy 2

1 First of all, I encourage you to make petitions, prayers, intercessions, and prayers of thanks for all people,2 for rulers, and for everyone who has authority over us. Pray for these people so that we can have a quiet and peaceful life always lived in a godly and reverent way.3 This is good and pleases God our Savior.4 He wants all people to be saved and to learn the truth.5 There is one God. There is also one mediator between God and humans—a human, Christ Jesus.6 He sacrificed himself for all people to free them from their sins. This message is valid for every era.

7 I was appointed to spread this Good News and to be an apostle to teach people who are not Jewish about faith and truth. I’m telling you the truth. I’m not lying.
8 I want men to offer prayers everywhere. They should raise their hands in prayer after putting aside their anger and any quarrels they have with anyone.9 I want women to show their beauty by dressing in appropriate clothes that are modest and respectable. Their beauty will be shown by what they do,t not by their hair styles or the gold jewelry, pearls, or expensive clothes they wear.

10 This is what is proper for women who claim to have reverence for God.
11 A woman must learn in silence, in keeping with her position.12 I don’t allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. Instead, she should be quiet.13 After all, Adam was formed first, then Eve.14 Besides that, Adam was not deceived. It was the woman who was deceived and brought sin into the world.

15 However, she and all women will be saved through the birth of the child,t if they lead respectable lives in faith, love, and holiness.

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.
