1 Timothy  Chapter 2    Back    Next

{2:1} I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men:

{2:2} for kings and all who are in high places
; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness
and reverence.

{2:3} For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;

{2:4} who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.

{2:5} For there is one God, and one mediator
between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus
,

{2:6} who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;

{2:7} 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.

{2:8} I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

{2:9} In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair
, gold
, pearls, or expensive clothing;

{2:10} but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.

{2:11} Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

{2:12} But I don't permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.

{2:13} For Adam
was first formed, then Eve.

{2:14} Adam wasn't deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;

{2:15} but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.
