1-Timothy 2:1
I exhort then, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men;
1-Timothy 2:2
including kings and all who are in high station, in order that we may live peaceful and tranquil lives with all godliness and gravity.
1-Timothy 2:3
This is right, and is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour,
1-Timothy 2:4
who is willing for all mankind to be saved and come to a full knowledge of the truth.
1-Timothy 2:5
For there is but one God and but one Mediator between God and men–Christ Jesus, Himself man;
1-Timothy 2:6
who gave Himself as the redemption price for all–a fact testified to at its own appointed time,
1-Timothy 2:7
and of which I have been appointed a herald and an apostle (I am speaking the truth: it is not a fiction), a teacher of the gentiles in faith and truth.
1-Timothy 2:8
So then I would have the men everywhere pray, lifting to God holy hands which are unstained with anger or strife;
1-Timothy 2:9
and I would have the women dress becomingly, with modesty and self-control, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls or costly clothes,
1-Timothy 2:10
but–as befits women making a claim to godliness–with the ornament of good works.
1-Timothy 2:11
A woman should quietly learn from others with entire submissiveness.
1-Timothy 2:12
I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man, but she must remain silent.
1-Timothy 2:13
For Adam was formed first, and then Eve;
1-Timothy 2:14
and Adam was not deceived, but his wife was thoroughly deceived, and so became involved in transgression.
1-Timothy 2:15
Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint.
