| 2:1 |
First of all, then, I urge that entreaties [and] prayers, petitions [and] thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,
|
| 2:2 |
for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
|
| 2:3 |
This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
|
| 2:4 |
who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
|
| 2:5 |
For there is one God, [and] one mediator also between God and men, [the] man Christ Jesus,
|
| 2:6 |
who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony [borne] at the proper time.
|
| 2:7 |
And for this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
|
| 2:8 |
Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.
|
| 2:9 |
Likewise, [I want] women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments;
|
| 2:10 |
but rather by means of good works, as befits women making a claim to godliness.
|
| 2:11 |
Let a woman quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness.
|
| 2:12 |
But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.
|
| 2:13 |
For it was Adam who was first created, [and] then Eve.
|
| 2:14 |
And [it was] not Adam [who] was deceived, but the woman being quite deceived, fell into transgression.
|
| 2:15 |
But [women] shall be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.
