The First Epistle of Paul to Timothy
2:1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions,
thanksgivings, be made for all men; 2:2for kings and all that are in high place; that
we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity. 2:3This is good
and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 2:4who would have all men to be
saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. 2:5For there is one God, one
mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus, 2:6who gave
himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times; 2:7whereunto I
was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of
the Gentiles in faith and truth. 2:8I desire therefore that the men pray in every place,
lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing. 2:9In like manner, that women
adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with
braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment; 2:10but (which becometh women
professing godliness) through good works. 2:11Let a woman learn in quietness with
all subjection. 2:12But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a
man, but to be in quietness. 2:13For Adam was first formed, then Eve; 2:14and Adam
was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:
2:15but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and
love and sanctification with sobriety.
