1Timothy - Chapter 2 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, {cf15I and} giving of thanks, be made for all men;
  • 2. For kings, and {cf15I for} all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
  • 3. For this {cf15I is} good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
  • 4. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
  • 5. For {cf15I there is} one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
  • 6. Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
  • 7. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, {cf15I and} lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
  • 8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
  • 9. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
  • 10. But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
  • 11. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
  • 12. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
  • 13. For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
  • 14. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
  • 15. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
