| 2:1 |
I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:
|
| 2:2 |
for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,
|
| 2:3 |
for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Saviour,
|
| 2:4 |
who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;
|
| 2:5 |
for one [is] God, one also [is] mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
|
| 2:6 |
who did give himself a ransom for all -- the testimony in its own times --
|
| 2:7 |
in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle -- truth I say in Christ, I do not lie -- a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.
|
| 2:8 |
I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;
|
| 2:9 |
in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,
|
| 2:10 |
but -- which becometh women professing godly piety -- through good works.
|
| 2:11 |
Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,
|
| 2:12 |
and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,
|
| 2:13 |
for Adam was first formed, then Eve,
|
| 2:14 |
and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,
|
| 2:15 |
and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
