1 Timothy 2
A Call to Prayer
1First of all, then, I urge that aentreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, 2 bfor kings and all who are in ▼▼ Or a high position
authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and ▼▼ Or seriousness
dignity. 3This is good and acceptable in the sight of eGod our Savior, 4 fwho desires all men to be gsaved and to hcome to the ▼▼ Or recognition
knowledge of the truth. 5For there is jone God, and kone mediator also between God and men, the lman Christ Jesus, 6who mgave Himself as a ransom for all, the ntestimony ▼▼ Or to be given
given at ▼▼ Lit its own times
,
qthe proper time. 7 rFor this I was appointed a ▼▼ Or herald
preacher and tan apostle ( uI am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of vthe Gentiles in faith and truth. 8Therefore wI want the men xin every place to pray, ylifting up zholy hands, without wrath and dissension. Women Instructed
9Likewise, I want aawomen to adorn themselves with proper clothing, ▼▼ Lit with modesty
modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, 10but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. 11 acA woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 adBut I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 aeFor it was Adam who was first ▼▼ Or formed
created, and then Eve. 14And it was not Adam who was deceived, but agthe woman being deceived, ▼▼ Lit has come
fell into transgression. 15But women will be ▼▼ Lit saved
preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in ajfaith and love and sanctity with ▼▼ Or discretion
self-restraint.
