1 Timothy, Chapter 2

1 First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, 2 for kings and all who are ina Or a high positionauthority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness andb Or seriousnessdignity. 3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to thec Or recognitionknowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimonyd Or to be givengiven ate Lit its own timesthe proper time. 7 For this I was appointed af Or heraldpreacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.
9 Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing,g Lit with modestymodestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, 10 but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. 11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was firsth Or formedcreated, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived,i Lit has comefell into transgression. 15 But women will bej Lit savedpreserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity withk Or discretionself-restraint.
