THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO
TIMOTHY

CHAPTER 2

We should pray for all men—Christ is our mediator—Women should dress modestly—Women blessed in childbearing—Admonished to continue in faith, charity, holiness.

1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 For ^akings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and ^bpeaceable ^clife in all godliness and ^dhonesty.

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

4 ^aWho ^bwill have ^call men to be ^dsaved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is ^aone God, and one ^bmediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

6 Who ^agave himself a ^bransom for all, to be ^ctestified in due time.

7 Whereunto I am ^aordained a ^bpreacher, and an ^capostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and ^dlie not;) a teacher of the ^eGentiles in faith and ^fverity.

8 I ^awill therefore that men ^bpray every where, lifting up holy ^chands, without wrath and ^ddoubting.

9 In like manner also, that ^awomen adorn themselves in ^bmodest ^capparel, with ^dshamefacedness and sobriety; not with ^ebroided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

10 But (which becometh women professing ^agodliness) with good works.

11 Let the woman learn in ^asilence with all subjection.

12 But I suffer not a woman to ^ateach, nor to ^busurp authority over the man, but to be in ^csilence.

13 For Adam was first ^aformed, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being ^adeceived was in the ^btransgression.

15 Notwithstanding ^ashe shall be saved in ^bchildbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and ^choliness with ^dsobriety.
