1 Timothy 2
Revised Geneva Translation
2 Therefore, I encourage most of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all mankind;
2 for kings, and for all who are in authority. So that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life, in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
4 Who desires that all mankind should be saved and come to the acknowledgment of the Truth.
5 For there is one God - and one Mediator between God and man - Who is the man, Christ Jesus.
6 He gave Himself - a ransom for all - to be that testimony in due time.
7 To this I am ordained a preacher and an Apostle (I speak the truth in Christ, and do not lie), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Therefore, I desire that the men pray everywhere, lifting up pure hands without wrath or doubting;
9 also that the women clothe themselves in appropriate apparel, with discretion and modesty (not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly garments,
10 but as becomes women who profess the fear of God with good works).
11 Let the woman learn in silence, with all subjection.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived. But the woman, being deceived, was in transgression.
15 Nevertheless, through the bearing of children she shall be saved, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with modesty.
1 Timothy 2
Modern English Version
Instructions Concerning Prayer
2 Therefore I exhort first of all that you make supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings for everyone, 2 for kings and for all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty, 3 for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all. This was the testimony given at the proper time. 7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ and do not lie), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Therefore I desire that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or contentiousness. 9 In like manner also, that women clothe themselves in modest clothing, with decency and self-control, not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing, 10 but with good works, which is proper for women professing godliness.
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all obedience. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to usurp authority over a man, but to be silent. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, being deceived, fell into sin. 15 Yet she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
