1Timothy - Chapter 2 | American Standard Version

  • 1. I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men;
  • 2. for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.
  • 3. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
  • 4. who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.
  • 5. For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, {cf15i himself} man, Christ Jesus,
  • 6. who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony {cf15i to be borne} in its own times;
  • 7. whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
  • 8. I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.
  • 9. In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;
  • 10. but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.
  • 11. Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
  • 12. But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.
  • 13. For Adam was first formed, then Eve;
  • 14. and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:
  • 15. but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
