1 Timothy 2

Thomson(i) 1 I therefore exhort thee first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life with all piety and honesty; 3 for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our saviour, 4 who willeth all men to be saved, and to come to an acknowledgment of truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all; as the testimony for his own times; 7 for which I have been appointed a herald and an apostle, [I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie] a teacher of nations in belief and truth. 8 I therefore give it in charge that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and surmise: 9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in comely apparel, with bashful modesty; not with curls, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 but with good works, as it becometh women who profess a reverence for God. 11 Let women learn in quietness with all submission. 12 For I do not allow a woman to teach or to usurp authority over man, but to be in quietness. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived: but the woman being deceived was in transgression, 15 but to be saved by the child birth, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification, with a sober mind.
