I Timothy 2 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
I Timothy 2
1And so I beg you, first of all, to make supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings for all men,
2for kings, and for all who are in high places, so that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and chastity.
3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
4who wants all men to be saved and to arrive at an acknowledgment of the truth.
5For there is one God, and one mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
6who gave himself as a redemption for all, as a testimony in its proper time.
7Of this testimony, I have been appointed a preacher and an Apostle, (I speak the truth, I do not lie) as a teacher of the Gentiles, in faith and in truth.
8Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.
9Similarly also, women should be dressed fittingly, adorning themselves with compunction and restraint, and not with plaited hair, nor gold, nor pearls, nor costly attire,
10but in a manner proper for women who are professing piety by means of good works.
11Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to be in authority over a man, but to be in silence.
13For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14And Adam was not seduced, but the woman, having been seduced, was in transgression.
15Yet she will be saved by bearing children, if she has continued in faith and love, and in sanctification accompanied by self-restraint.
I Timothy 2
1I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all men:
2For kings and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.
3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,
4Who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5For there is one God: and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus:
6Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times.
7Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle (I say the truth, I lie not), a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention.
9In like manner, women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire:
10But, as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works.
11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence.
13For Adam was first formed; then Eve.
14And Adam was not seduced; but the woman, being seduced, was in the transgression.
15Yet she shall be saved through child bearing; if she continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
