1 Timothy 2
World English Bible - 1 Timothy 2 << | >> 123456 2:1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men: 2:2 for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence. 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God, our Savior; 2:4 who desires to have all men to be saved, and come to full knowledge of the truth. 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 2:6 who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times; 2:7 to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 2:8 I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 2:9 In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly clothing; 2:10 but (which becomes women professing godliness) through good works. 2:11 Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection. 2:12 But I don`t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness. 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 2:14 Adam wasn`t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience; 2:15 but she will be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.
