The First Epistle of Saint Paul to Timothy
Chapter 2
Prayers are to be said for all men, because God wills the salvation of all. Women are not to teach.
 1 |
I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all men: |
2 |
For kings and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity. |
3 |
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, |
4 |
Who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. |
5 |
For there is one God: and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus: |
6 |
Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times. |
7 |
Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle (I say the truth, I lie not), a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth. |
8 |
I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention. |
9 |
In like manner, women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire: |
10 |
But, as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works. |
11 |
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. |
12 |
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence. |
13 |
For Adam was first formed; then Eve. |
14 |
And Adam was not seduced; but the woman, being seduced, was in the transgression. |
15 |
Yet she shall be saved through child bearing; if she continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety. |
