The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy

Chapter 2

1

 

  I exhort then, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men; 

 


2

 

  including kings and all who are in high station, in order that we may live peaceful and tranquil lives with all godliness and gravity. 

 


3

 

  This is right, and is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour, 

 


4

 

  who is willing for all mankind to be saved and come to a full knowledge of the truth. 

 


5

 

  For there is but one God and but one Mediator between God and men--Christ Jesus, Himself man; 

 


6

 

  who gave Himself as the redemption price for all--a fact testified to at its own appointed time, 

 


7

 

  and of which I have been appointed a herald and an Apostle (I am speaking the truth: it is not a fiction), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 

 


8

 

  So then I would have the men everywhere pray, lifting to God holy hands which are unstained with anger or strife; 

 


9

 

  and I would have the women dress becomingly, with modesty and self-control, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls or costly clothes, 

 


10

 

  but--as befits women making a claim to godliness--with the ornament of good works. 

 


11

 

  A woman should quietly learn from others with entire submissiveness. 

 


12

 

  I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man, but she must remain silent. 

 


13

 

  For Adam was formed first, and then Eve; 

 


14

 

  and Adam was not deceived, but his wife was thoroughly deceived, and so became involved in transgression. 

 


15

 

  Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint.
