The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy
| Select Version: | Select Book: | Select Chapter: |
1 Timothy 2
| 1 | I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men; |
| 2 | For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. |
| 3 | For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; |
| 4 | Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. |
| 5 | For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; |
| 6 | Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. |
| 7 | Whereunto 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. |
| 8 | I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. |
| 9 | In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; |
| 10 | But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. |
| 11 | Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. |
| 12 | But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. |
| 13 | For Adam was first formed, then Eve. |
| 14 | And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. |
| 15 | Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. |
