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.

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.
