1 Timothy 2:1

First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone—

1 Timothy 2:2

for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.

1 Timothy 2:3

This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

1 Timothy 2:4

who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

1 Timothy 2:5

For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

1 Timothy 2:6

who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.

1 Timothy 2:7

For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything.

1 Timothy 2:8

Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.

1 Timothy 2:9

Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,

1 Timothy 2:10

but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.

1 Timothy 2:11

A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.

1 Timothy 2:12

I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.

1 Timothy 2:13

For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.

1 Timothy 2:14

And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.

1 Timothy 2:15

Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
