| 2:1 |
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men,
|
| 2:2 |
for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in everyway.
|
| 2:3 |
This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
|
| 2:4 |
who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
|
| 2:5 |
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
|
| 2:6 |
who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony to which was borne at the proper time.
|
| 2:7 |
For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
|
| 2:8 |
I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;
|
| 2:9 |
also that women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly attire
|
| 2:10 |
but by good deeds, as befits women who profess religion.
|
| 2:11 |
Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness.
|
| 2:12 |
I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men;she is to keep silent.
|
| 2:13 |
For Adam was formed first, then Eve;
|
| 2:14 |
and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
|
| 2:15 |
Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.
