1 Timothy 2

A Call to Prayer

1First of all, then, I urge that 1requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made in behalf of all people, 22for kings and all who are in 3authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and 4dignity. 3This is good and acceptable in the sight of 5God our Savior, 46who wants all people to be 7saved and to 8come to the 9knowledge of the truth. 5For there is 10one God, and 11one mediator also between God and mankind, the 12Man Christ Jesus, 6who 13gave Himself as a ransom for all, the 14testimony 15given at 1617the proper time. 718For this I was appointed as a 19preacher and 20an apostle (21I am telling the truth, I am not lying), as a teacher of 22the Gentiles in faith and truth.

Instructions for Believers

8Therefore 23I want the men 24in every place to pray, 25lifting up 26holy hands, without anger and dispute. 9Likewise, I want 27women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, 28modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive apparel, 10but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. 1129A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 1230But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 1331For it was Adam who was first 32created, and then Eve. 14And it was not Adam who was deceived, but 33the woman was 34deceived and 35became a wrongdoer. 15But 36women will be 37preserved through 38childbirth--if they continue in 39faith, love, and sanctity, with moderation.
