Verse
1 Timothy - ch 2 v 1 - 15
- I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made for all men;
- for kings and all that are in dignity, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and gravity;
- for this is good and acceptable before our Saviour God,
- who desires that all men should be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
- For God is one, and the mediator of God and men one, the man Christ Jesus,
- who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony to be rendered in its own times;
- to which I have been appointed a herald and apostle, (I speak the truth, I do not lie,) a teacher of the nations in faith and truth.
- I will therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up pious hands, without wrath or reasoning.
- In like manner also that the women in decent deportment and dress adorn themselves with modesty and discretion, not with plaited hair and gold, or pearls, or costly clothing,
- but, what becomes women making profession of the fear of God, by good works.
- Let a woman learn in quietness in all subjection;
- but I do not suffer a woman to teach nor to exercise authority over man, but to be in quietness;
- for Adam was formed first, then Eve:
- and Adam was not deceived; but the woman, having been deceived, was in transgression.
- But she shall be preserved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with discretion.
