1 Timothy 2
NASB
1 Tim 2:1
&
First of all, then, I urge that entreaties {and} prayers, petitions {and} thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,
1 Tim 2:2
&
for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
1 Tim 2:3
&
This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
1 Tim 2:4
&
who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1 Tim 2:5
&
For there is one God, {and} one mediator also between God and men, {the} man Christ Jesus,
1 Tim 2:6
&
who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony {given} at the proper time.
1 Tim 2:7
&
For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
1 Tim 2:8
&
Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.
1 Tim 2:9
&
Likewise, {I want} women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,
1 Tim 2:10
&
but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.
1 Tim 2:11
&
A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness.
1 Tim 2:12
&
But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.
1 Tim 2:13
&
For it was Adam who was first created, {and} then Eve.
1 Tim 2:14
&
And {it was} not Adam {who} was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
1 Tim 2:15
&
But {women} will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.
