| 2:1 |
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone,
|
| 2:2 |
for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity.
|
| 2:3 |
This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
|
| 2:4 |
who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
|
| 2:5 |
For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human,
|
| 2:6 |
who gave himself a ransom for all-- this was attested at the right time.
|
| 2:7 |
For this I was appointed a herald and an 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 up holy hands without anger or argument;
|
| 2:9 |
also that the women should dress themselves modestly and decently in suitable clothing, not with their hair braided, or with gold, pearls, or expensive clothes,
|
| 2:10 |
but with good works, as is proper for women who profess reverence for God.
|
| 2:11 |
Let a woman learn in silence with full submission.
|
| 2:12 |
I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man; 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 she will be saved through childbearing, provided they continue in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.
