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 therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,

2for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

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

4who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.

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

6who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,

7to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

9In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, notwith braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,

10but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.

11Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.

12But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.

13For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

14Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;

15but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.
