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.
