1 Timothy 2

1FirstG4412 of allG3956, thenG3767, I urge thatG3870 petitionsG1162, prayersG4335, intercessionsG1783, and thanksgivingG2169 be offeredG4160 forG5228 everyoneG3956G444— 2forG5228 kingsG935 andG2532 allG3956 thoseG3588G1510 inG1722 authorityG5247—so thatG2443 we may leadG1236 tranquilG2263 andG2532 quietG2272 livesG979 inG1722 allG3956 godlinessG2150 andG2532 dignityG4587. 3ThisG3778 is goodG2570 andG2532 pleasingG587 in the sight ofG1799 GodG2316 ourG1473 SaviorG4990, 4whoG3739 wantsG2309 everyoneG3956G444 to be savedG4982 andG2532 to comeG2064 toG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225.

5ForG1063 there is oneG1520 GodG2316, andG2532 there is oneG1520 mediatorG3316 between GodG2316 andG2532 menG444, the manG444 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, 6whoG3588 gaveG1325 HimselfG1438 as a ransomG487 forG5228 allG3956—theG3588 testimony that was givenG3142 at just the right timeG2398G2540.

7ForG1519 this reason IG1473 was appointed asG5087 a preacherG2783, an apostleG652, and a faithfulG4102 andG2532 trueG225 teacherG1320 of the GentilesG1484. I am tellingG3004 the truthG225; I am notG3756 lyingG5574 about anything. 8ThereforeG3767 I wantG1014 theG3588 menG435 everywhereG1722G3956G51171 to prayG4336, lifting upG1869 holyG3741 handsG5495, withoutG5565 angerG3709 or dissensionG1261.

Instructions to Women

9LikewiseG5615, I want the womenG1135 to adornG2885 themselvesG1438 withG1722 respectableG2887 apparelG2689, withG3326 modestyG127, andG2532 with self-controlG4997, notG3361 withG1722 braided hairG4117 orG2532 goldG5553 orG2228 pearlsG3135 orG2228 expensiveG4185 clothesG2441, 10butG235 withG1223 goodG18 deedsG2041, as is properG4241 for womenG1135 who professG1861 to worship GodG2317.

11A womanG11352 must learnG3129 inG1722 quietnessG2271 and fullG3956 submissivenessG5292. 12I do not permitG3756G2010 a womanG1135 to teachG1321 or to exercise authority overG831 a manG435;3 she is to remainG1510 quietG2271. 13ForG1063 AdamG76 was formedG4111 firstG4413, and thenG1534 EveG2096. 14AndG2532 it was notG3756 AdamG76 who was deceivedG538, butG1161 theG3588 womanG1135 who was deceivedG1818 and fellG1096 intoG1722 transgressionG3847. 15Women, however, will be savedG1161G49824 throughG1223 childbearingG5042, ifG1437 they continueG3306 inG1722 faithG4102, loveG26, andG2532 holinessG38, withG3326 self-controlG4997.
