1 Timothy Chapter 2 (NASB)
undefined
First of all, then, I urge that entreaties [and] prayers, petitions [and] thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,
undefined
for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
undefined
This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
undefined
who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
undefined
For there is one God, [and] one mediator also between God and men, [the] man Christ Jesus,
undefined
who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony [given] at the proper time.
undefined
For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
undefined
Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.
undefined
Likewise, [I want] women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,
undefined
but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.
undefined
A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness.
undefined
But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.
undefined
For it was Adam who was first created, [and] then Eve.
undefined
And [it was] not Adam [who] was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
undefined
But [women] will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.
