1Timothy:2

Seeker Overlay ON

* Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications , prayers , intercessions , and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men , * on behalf of kings and all those who are in authority , that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity . * For this is good and acceptable before God our Savior , * who desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth . * For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men , the Man Christ Jesus , * who gave Himself a ransom for all , the testimony in due time ; * for which I was appointed a herald and apostle-I speak the truth in Christ , I do not lie-a teacher of Gentiles in faith and truth . * I desire therefore that men pray in every place , lifting up holy hands , without wrath and doubting . * Likewise also that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel , with propriety and discretion , not with braids or gold or pearls or expensive clothing , * but which is fitting for women professing godliness , by means of good works . * Let a woman learn in silence with all submission . * And I do not permit a woman to teach , nor to have authority over a man , but to be in silence . * For Adam first was formed , then Eve . * And Adam was not deceived , but the woman being deceived , has come to be in transgression . * Nevertheless she shall be saved through childbirth , if they remain in faith and love , and sanctification , with self-control .
