1 Timothy
2
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 I exhort therefore, that, first of
all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks,
be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that
are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and
acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved,
and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there
is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all,
to be testified in due time.
7 Whereunto 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.
8 I will therefore that men pray
every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
9 In 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;
10 But (which becometh women
professing godliness) with good works.
11 Let the woman learn in silence
with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to
teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then
Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but
the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she shall be
saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness
with sobriety.
