| 2.1 |
I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men: |
| 2.2 |
for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence. |
| 2.3 |
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; |
| 2.4 |
who desires all people to be saved and come to full 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 as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times; |
| 2.7 |
to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. |
| 2.8 |
I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting. |
| 2.9 |
In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing; |
| 2.10 |
but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works. |
| 2.11 |
Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection. |
| 2.12 |
But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness. |
| 2.13 |
For Adam was first formed, then Eve. |
| 2.14 |
Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience; |
| 2.15 |
but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety. |
