1Timothy 2

A Call to Prayer

2FIRST OF all, then, I admonish {and} urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men,G3870G3767G4412G3956G1162G4335G1783G2169G4160G5228G3956G4442For kings and all who are in positions of authority {or} high responsibility, that [outwardly] we may pass a quiet {and} undisturbed life [and inwardly] a peaceable one in all godliness {and} reverence and seriousness in every way.G5228G935G2532G3956G5607G1722G5247G2443G1236G2263G2532G2272G979G1722G3956G2150G2532G45873For such [praying] is good {and} right, and [it is] pleasing {and} acceptable to God our Savior,G1063G5124G2570G2532G587G1799G2316G2257G49904Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive {and} recognize {and} discern {and} know precisely {and} correctly the [divine] Truth.G3739G2309G3956G444G4982G2532G2064G1519G1922G2255For there [is only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,G1063G1520G2316G2532G1520G3316G2316G2532G444G444G5547G24246Who gave Himself as a ransom for all [people, a fact that was] attested to at the right {and} proper time.G3588G1325G1438G487G5228G3956G3142G2398G25407And of this matter I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (special messenger)--I am speaking the truth {in Christ,} I do not falsify [when I say this]--a teacher of the Gentiles in [the realm of] faith and truth.G1519G3739G1473G5087G2783G2532G652G3004G225G1722G5547G5574G3756G1320G1484G1722G4102G2532G2258I desire therefore that in every place men should pray, without anger {or} quarreling {or} resentment or doubt [in their minds], lifting up holy hands.G1014G3767G435G4336G1722G3956G5117G1869G3741G5495G5565G3709G2532G1261

Women Instructed

9Also [I desire] that women should adorn themselves modestly {and} appropriately and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with [elaborate] hair arrangement or gold or pearls or expensive clothing,G5615G2532G1135G2885G1438G1722G2887G2689G3326G127G2532G4997G3361G1722G4117G2228G5557G2228G3135G2228G4185G244110But by doing good deeds (deeds in themselves good and for the good and advantage of those contacted by them), as befits women who profess reverential fear for {and} devotion to God.G235G3739G4241G1135G1861G2317G1223G18G204111Let a woman learn in quietness, in entire submissiveness.G3129G1135G3129G1722G2271G1722G3956G529212I allow no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to remain in quietness {and} keep silence [in religious assemblies].G1161G2010G3756G1135G1321G3761G831G435G235G1511G1722G227113For Adam was first formed, then Eve;G1063G76G4111G4413G4111G1534G209614And it was not Adam who was deceived, but [the] woman who was deceived {and} deluded and fell into transgression.G2532G76G538G3756G538G1161G1135G538G1096G1722G384715Nevertheless [the sentence put upon women of pain in motherhood does not hinder their souls' salvation, and] they will be saved [eternally] if they continue in faith and love and holiness with self-control, [saved indeed] through the Childbearing {or} by the birth of the divine Child.G1161G4982G1223G5042G1437G3306G1722G4102G2532G26G2532G38G3326G4997
