1 Timothy 2:5-11
English Standard Version
1 Timothy 2:5-11
English Standard Version
5 For (A)there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man[a] Christ Jesus, 6 (B)who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is (C)the testimony given (D)at the proper time. 7 (E)For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle ((F)I am telling the truth, I am not lying), (G)a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 I desire then that (H)in every place the men should pray, (I)lifting (J)holy hands without anger or quarreling; 9 likewise also (K)that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10 (L)but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. 11 Let a woman learn quietly (M)with all submissiveness.

1 Timothy 2:5-11
New International Version
1 Timothy 2:5-11
New International Version
5 For there is one God(A) and one mediator(B) between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,(C) 6 who gave himself as a ransom(D) for all people. This has now been witnessed to(E) at the proper time.(F) 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying(G)—and a true and faithful teacher(H) of the Gentiles.(I)
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands(J) without anger or disputing. 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,(K) 10 but with good deeds,(L) appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
11 A woman[a] should learn in quietness and full submission.(M)
