1 Timothy 2 (KJV)
- 1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
- 2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
- 3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
- 4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
- 5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
- 6Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
- 7Where unto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
- 8I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
- 9In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
- 10But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
- 11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
- 12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
- 13For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
- 14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
- 15Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
