2:1 |
I exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks be made for all men;
|
2:2 |
For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
|
2:3 |
For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
|
2:4 |
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
|
2:5 |
For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
|
2:6 |
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
|
2:7 |
For which I am ordained a preacher and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
|
2:8 |
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
|
2:9 |
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety; not with broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array,
|
2:10 |
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
|
2:11 |
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
|
2:12 |
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

|
2:14 |
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
|

Notwithstanding, she will be saved in child-bearing, if they continue in faith, and charity, and holiness, with sobriety.
