1Tim 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
to which 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
anger 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 becomes 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 has fallen into transgression:
15
but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love
and sanctification with sobriety.
