1 Timothy 2
- Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
- for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
- For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
- who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
- For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,
- who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,
- for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle––I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying––a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
- I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;
- in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,
- but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.
- Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.
- And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
- For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
- And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
- Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self–control.
