1Ti2:1 First of all, then, I urge that entreaties [and] prayers, petitions [and] thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,
1Ti2:2 for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
1Ti2:3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
1Ti2:4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1Ti2:5 For there is one God, [and] one mediator also between God and men, [the] man Christ Jesus,
1Ti2:6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony [borne] at the proper time.
1Ti2:7 And 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.
1Ti2:8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.
1Ti2:9 Likewise, [I want] women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments;
1Ti2:10 but rather by means of good works, as befits women making a claim to godliness.
1Ti2:11 Let a woman quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness.
1Ti2:12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.
1Ti2:13 For it was Adam who was first created, [and] then Eve.
1Ti2:14 And [it was] not Adam [who] was deceived, but the woman being quite deceived, fell into transgression.
1Ti2:15 But [women] shall be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.
