1 Timothy

Chapter 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.
