1 Timothy 2

Exhortation to Prayer

First of all, then, I exhort that ^apetitions and prayers, requests and thanksgivings, be made for all men, 2 ^afor kings and all who are in ¹authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and ²dignity. 3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of ^aGod our Savior, 4 ^awho desires all men to be ^bsaved and to ^ccome to the ¹full knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is ^aone God, and ^bone mediator also between God and men, the ^cman Christ Jesus, 6 who ^agave Himself as a ransom for all, the ^bwitness for ¹^cthis proper time. 7 ^aFor this I was appointed a ¹preacher and ^ban apostle (^cI am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of ^dthe Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Therefore ^aI want the men ^bin every place to pray, ^clifting up ^dholy hands, without wrath and dissension.

Instructions for Women

9 Likewise, I want ^awomen to adorn themselves with proper clothing, with modesty and self-restraint, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women professing godliness. 11 ^aA woman must learn in quietness, in all submission. 12 ^aBut I do not ¹allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 ^aFor it was Adam who was first formed, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but ^athe woman being deceived, ¹fell into trespass. 15 But she will be ¹saved through the bearing of children, if they continue in ^afaith and love and sanctification with self-restraint.
