提 摩 太 前 書 2
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
上帝要我们为所有的人祷告
2 首先，我敦促你为所有的人祈求、祷告请求并且表达感激之情， 2 尤其是要为统治者和当权者祈祷，以便我们可以过上安宁与和平的生活－即充满对上帝的崇拜和敬意的生活。 3 这样的祈祷是好的，会令我们的救世主上帝喜悦。 4 他要所有的人都获得拯救，并能认识真理。 5 因为只有一个上帝，在上帝和人之间只有一位中介，那就是基督耶稣。 6 他牺牲自己，为全人类赎了罪，这证明了在适当的时候，上帝要所有的人都得救。 7 为此，我被选派来传播福音，并成为使徒。（我说的都是实话，没有撒谎。）我还被指定为外族人的教师，教导他们相信并认识真理。
给男人和女人的特别指教
8 我希望各地的男人虔诚地举起双手祈祷，没有愤怒，没有争论。
9 同样，我希望女人穿着得体，谦虚，自律，不应该用奇异的发型、金饰珠宝或昂贵的服装来装饰自己， 10 而要用善行来表示对上帝的敬拜，这才是女人应该做的事。
11 女人应该默默地学习，完全顺从。 12 我不允许女子教授，或者管辖男人。相反，她必须保持沉默。 13 我这么说是因为先有亚当， 后有夏娃。 14 受骗的不是亚当，而是那女人上当受骗，陷入罪恶。 15 不过如果女人尽了养育子女的义务，恪守信仰、爱心、保持圣洁和恰当的自律，就会得救。
Timotiyos I 2
Orthodox Jewish Bible
2 I urge, therefore, of first importance, davening, techinnah (supplication), tefillah (prayer), bakkashot (petitions), and hodayah (thanksgiving) be made on behalf of kol Bnei Adam (all mankind),
2 On behalf of malchei eretz (kings) and on behalf of all the ones in authority, that we may lead a life of chayyei menuchah (life of rest) in all chasidus (piety) and yirat Shomayim (reverence).
3 This is good and acceptable before Hashem Moshieynu,
4 Who wants kol Bnei Adam to have Yeshu’at Eloheynu (the Salvation of our G-d) and to come to da’as HaEmes (knowledge of the truth).
5 For Adonoi echad hu (there is one G-d) and there is also metavekh echad (one melitz, IYOV 33:23, YESHAYAH 43:27; cf. DEVARIM 5:5,22-31), one between Hashem and kol Bnei Adam, the man Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua,
6 The one who gave his nefesh [YESHAYAH 53:10-12] as a kofer (ransom), on behalf of all. The edut (testimony) of this was given at the right time.
7 And for this edut I was given the s’michah (ordination) of Hashem as a karoz (herald), a maggid [darshan (preacher) for Moshiach], a Shliach (Moshiach’s emissary) I speak Emes, I do not speak sheker and a [rabbinic] moreh (teacher) for the Nations in emunah and Emes.
8 I want, therefore, kol bnei Adam to daven in every shul, lifting up yadayim kodesh (holy hands) without ka’as (anger) and madon (strife).
9 Similarly also nashim (women) should adorn themselves with respectable comportment and tznius (modesty, piety) in appearance and with decency and propriety, not with coiffures and gold or pearls or costly clothing,
10 But with what is proper for nashim professing yirat Shomayim, that is, by means of ma’asim tovim (good works).
11 Let the isha (wife) learn in silence in all submission.
12 I do not allow an isha (wife) either to have teaching authority over or to have hishtaltut (domination, taking control) over [her] man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was formed rishonah (first), then Chavah.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the isha, having been deceived, has come to be in averah (transgression).
15 But womankind will be saved through her childbearing if nashim remain in emunah and ahavah and kedushah with tznius [2:9].
