1 Timothy 2

1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;⋮

2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.⋮

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;⋮

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.⋮

5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;⋮

6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.⋮

7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.⋮

8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.⋮

9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;⋮

10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.⋮

11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.⋮

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.⋮

13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.⋮

14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.⋮

15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.⋮
