1 Timothy 2

1 I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:⋮

2 for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,⋮

3 for this is right and acceptable before God our Saviour,⋮

4 who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;⋮

5 for one is God, one also is mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,⋮

6 who did give himself a ransom for all — the testimony in its own times —⋮

7 in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle — truth I say in Christ, I do not lie — a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.⋮

8 I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;⋮

9 in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,⋮

10 but — which becometh women professing godly piety — through good works.⋮

11 Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,⋮

12 and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,⋮

13 for Adam was first formed, then Eve,⋮

14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,⋮

15 and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.⋮
