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