1 Timothy 2
Pray for All Men
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 afor kings and ball who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is agood and acceptable in the sight bof God our Savior, 4 awho desires all men to be saved band to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 aFor there is one God and bone Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 awho gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, 7 afor which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying—ba teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
Men and Women in the Church
8 I desire therefore that the men pray aeverywhere, blifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; 9 in like manner also, that the awomen adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 abut, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. 11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. 12 And aI do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. 15 Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
