1 Timothy 1:18-2:15
New American Standard Bible
18 This (A)command I entrust to you, Timothy, (B)my [a]son, in accordance with the (C)prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you (D)fight the good fight, 19 keeping (E)faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to [b](F)their faith. 20 [c]Among these are (G)Hymenaeus and (H)Alexander, whom I have (I)handed over to Satan, so that they will be (J)taught not to blaspheme.
A Call to Prayer
2 First of all, then, I urge that (K)requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made in behalf of all people, 2 (L)for kings and all who are in [d]authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and [e]dignity. 3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of (M)God our Savior, 4 (N)who wants all people to be (O)saved and to (P)come to the [f]knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is (Q)one God, and (R)one mediator also between God and mankind, the (S)man Christ Jesus, 6 who (T)gave Himself as a ransom for all, the (U)testimony [g]given at [h](V)the proper time. 7 (W)For this I was appointed as a [i]preacher and (X)an apostle ((Y)I am telling the truth, I am not lying), as a teacher of (Z)the Gentiles in faith and truth.
Instructions for Believers
8 Therefore (AA)I want the men (AB)in every place to pray, (AC)lifting up (AD)holy hands, without anger and dispute. 9 Likewise, I want (AE)women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, [j]modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive apparel, 10 but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. 11 (AF)A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 (AG)But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 (AH)For it was Adam who was first [k]created, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but (AI)the woman was [l]deceived and [m]became a wrongdoer. 15 But [n]women will be [o]preserved through [p]childbirth—if they continue in (AJ)faith, love, and sanctity, with moderation.
