1 Timothy

1I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men:

2For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.

3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,

4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus:

6Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times.

7Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle, (I say the truth, I lie not,) a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention.

9In like manner women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire,

10But as it 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 use authority over the man: but to be in silence.

13For Adam was first formed; then Eve.

14And Adam was not seduced; but the woman being seduced, was in the transgression.

15Yet she shall be saved through childbearing; if she continue in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.

1I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:

2for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,

3for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Saviour,

4who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;

5for one [is] God, one also [is] mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,

6who did give himself a ransom for all — the testimony in its own times —

7in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle — truth I say in Christ, I do not lie — a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.

8I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;

9in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,

10but — which becometh women professing godly piety — through good works.

11Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,

12and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,

13for Adam was first formed, then Eve,

14and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,

15and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
