| 2 | 1 Timothy |
|
| 1 |
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, | Instructions concerning Prayer 1Tm.2.1-15 |
| 2 |
for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. | |
| 3 |
This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, | |
| 4 |
who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. | |
| 5 |
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, | |
| 6 |
who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony to which was borne at the proper time. | |
| 7 |
For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. | |
| 8 |
I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; | |
| 9 |
also that women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly attire | |
| 10 |
but by good deeds, as befits women who profess religion. | |
| 11 |
Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. | |
| 12 |
I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent. | |
| 13 |
For Adam was formed first, then Eve; | |
| 14 |
and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. | |
| 15 |
Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with modesty. | |
