| 2:1 |
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone--
|
| 2:2 |
for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
|
| 2:3 |
This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
|
| 2:4 |
who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
|
| 2:5 |
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
|
| 2:6 |
who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time.
|
| 2:7 |
And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.
|
| 2:8 |
I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.
|
| 2:9 |
I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
|
| 2:10 |
but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
|
| 2:11 |
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.
|
| 2:12 |
I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.
|
| 2:13 |
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
|
| 2:14 |
And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
|
| 2:15 |
But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
