1. Timotheus 2

1. ¹I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:
2. ²for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,
3. ³for this `is' right and acceptable before God our Saviour,
4. ⁴who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;
5. ⁵for one `is' God, one also `is' mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
6. ⁶who did give himself a ransom for all -- the testimony in its own times --
7. ⁷in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle -- truth I say in Christ, I do not lie -- a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.
8. ⁸I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;
9. ⁹in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,
10. ¹⁰but -- which becometh women professing godly piety -- through good works.
11. ¹¹Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,
12. ¹²and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,
13. ¹³for Adam was first formed, then Eve,
14. ¹⁴and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,
15. ¹⁵and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
