1 Timothy

2 I exhort therefore first of all, that there be made—Supplications, prayers, intercessions, thankgivings, In behalf of all men,—

2 In behalf of kings and all them who are in eminent station; In order that an undisturbed and quiet life we may lead In all godliness and gravity:

3 This is comely and acceptable before our Saviour God,

4 Who willeth all men to be saved And unto a personal knowledge of truth to come;

5 For there is one God, One mediator also between God and men,—A man—Christ Jesus:

6 Who gave himself a ransom in behalf of all,—The testimony in its own fit times:

7 Unto which I have been appointed proclaimer and apostle—Truth I speak, I utter no falsehood—A teacher of nations in faith and truth.

8 I am minded therefore that—The men in every place be offering prayer, Uplifting hands of lovingkindness, Apart from anger and disputings;

9 In the same way that the women—In seemly attire, with modesty and sober-mindedness be adorning themselves,—Not with plaitings and ornamentation of gold or with pearls or with costly apparel,—

10 But Which becometh women promising godliness Through means of good works.

11 Let a woman in quietness be learning in all submission;

12 But teaching—unto a woman I do not permit, Nor yet to have authority over a man,—But to be in quietness;

13 For Adam first was formed, Then Eve,

14 And Adam was not deceived, Whereas the woman having been wholly deceived hath come to be in transgression;

15 She shall be saved however through means of the child-bearing,—If they abide in faith and love and holiness, with sobermindedness. Faithful the saying.
