1 Timothy 2:5-15
New American Standard Bible
5 For there is (A)one God, and (B)one mediator also between God and mankind, the (C)man Christ Jesus, 6 who (D)gave Himself as a ransom for all, the (E)testimony [a]given at [b](F)the proper time. 7 (G)For this I was appointed as a [c]preacher and (H)an apostle ((I)I am telling the truth, I am not lying), as a teacher of (J)the Gentiles in faith and truth.
Instructions for Believers
8 Therefore (K)I want the men (L)in every place to pray, (M)lifting up (N)holy hands, without anger and dispute. 9 Likewise, I want (O)women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, [d]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 (P)A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 (Q)But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 (R)For it was Adam who was first [e]created, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but (S)the woman was [f]deceived and [g]became a wrongdoer. 15 But [h]women will be [i]preserved through [j]childbirth—if they continue in (T)faith, love, and sanctity, with moderation.

New International Version
1 Timothy 2:5-15
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) 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet.(N) 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.(O) 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.(P) 15 But women[c] will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love(Q) and holiness with propriety.
