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 exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

²For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

³For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

⁴Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

⁵For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

⁶Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

⁷Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

⁸I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

⁹In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

¹⁰But (which 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 usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

¹³For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

¹⁴And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

¹⁵Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
