Greetings from Paul
1This letter is from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, appointed by the command of God our Savior and Christ Jesus, who gives us hope.G3972Warnings against False Teachings
3When I left for Macedonia, I urged you to stay there in Ephesus and stop those whose teaching is contrary to the truth.G2531Paul’s Gratitude for God’s Mercy
12I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength to do his work. He considered me trustworthy and appointed me to serve him,G2532Timothy’s Responsibility
18Timothy, my son, here are my instructions for you, based on the prophetic words spoken about you earlier. May they help you fight well in the Lord's battles.G5026Instructions about Worship
2I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.G38702Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity.G5228G935G2532G3956G5607G1722G5247G2443G1236G2263G2532G2272G979G1722G3956G2150G2532G4587
3This is good and pleases God our Savior,G1063G5124G2570G2532G587G1799G2316G2257G4990
4who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.G3739G2309G3956G444G4982G2532G2064G1519G1922G225
5For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.G1063G1520G2316G2532G1520G3316G2316G2532G444G444G5547G2424
6He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time.G3588G1325G1438G487G5228G3956G3142G2398G2540
7And I have been chosen as a preacher and apostle to teach the Gentiles this message about faith and truth. I'm not exaggerating—just telling the truth.G1519G3739G1473G5087G2783G2532G652G3004G225G1722G5547G5574G3756G1320G1484G1722G4102G2532G225
8In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy.G1014G3767G435G4336G1722G3956G5117G1869G3741G5495G5565G3709G2532G1261
9And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.G5615G2532G1135G2885G1438G1722G2887G2689G3326G127G2532G4997G3361G1722G4117G2228G5557G2228G3135G2228G4185G2441
10For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.G235G3739G4241G1135G1861G2317G1223G18G2041
11Women should learn quietly and submissively.G3129G1135G3129G1722G2271G1722G3956G5292
12I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly.G1161G2010G3756G1135G1321G3761G831G435G235G1511G1722G2271
13For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve.G1063G76G4111G4413G4111G1534G2096
14And it was not Adam who was deceived by Satan. The woman was deceived, and sin was the result.G2532G76G538G3756G538G1161G1135G538G1096G1722G3847
15But women will be saved through childbearing, assuming they continue to live in faith, love, holiness, and modesty.G1161G4982G1223G5042G1437G3306G1722G4102G2532G26G2532G38G3326G4997
19[For the choir director: A psalm of David.] The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.H5329H4210H1732H8064H5608H3519H410H7549H5046H4639H3027
2Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known.H3117H3117H5042H562H3915H3915H2331H1847
3They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard.H562H1697H6963H8085
4Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world. God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.H6957H3318H776H4405H7097H8398H7760H168H8121
5It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding. It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race.H2860H3318H2646H7797H1368H7323H734
6The sun rises at one end of the heavens and follows its course to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat.H4161H7097H8064H8622H7098H5641H2535
7The instructions of the LORD are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.H8451H3068H8549H7725H5315H5715H3068H539H2449H6612
8The commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are clear, giving insight for living.H6490H3068H3477H8055H3820H4687H3068H1249H215H5869
9Reverence for the LORD is pure, lasting forever. The laws of the LORD are true; each one is fair.H3374H3068H2889H5975H5703H4941H3068H571H6663H3162
10They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb.H2530H2091H7227H6337H4966H1706H5317H6688
11They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them.H5650H2094H8104H7227H6118
12How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults.H995H7691H5352H5641
New Testament
13Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don't let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin.H2820H5650H2086H4910H8552H5352H7227H6588
14May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.H561H6310H1902H3820H7522H6440H3068H6697H1350
