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.

I Timothy 2

¹I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men;

²for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.

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

⁴who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.

⁵For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus,

⁶who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times;

⁷whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

⁸I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.

⁹In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;

¹⁰but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.

¹¹Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

¹²But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.

¹³For Adam was first formed, then Eve;

¹⁴and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:

¹⁵but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
