Chapter 2

1


 

   I exhort then, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men;  

 

 

-

2


 

   including kings and all who are in high station, in order that we may live peaceful and tranquil lives with all godliness and gravity.  

 

 

-

3


 

   This is right, and is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour,  

 

 

-

4


 

   who is willing for all mankind to be saved and come to a full knowledge of the truth.  

 

 

-

5


 

   For there is but one God and but one Mediator between God and men--Christ Jesus, Himself man;  

 

 

-

6


 

   who gave Himself as the redemption price for all--a fact testified to at its own appointed time,  

 

 

-

7


 

   and of which I have been appointed a herald and an Apostle (I am speaking the truth: it is not a fiction), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.  

 

 

-

8


 

   So then I would have the men everywhere pray, lifting to God holy hands which are unstained with anger or strife;  

 

 

-

9


 

   and I would have the women dress becomingly, with modesty and self-control, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls or costly clothes,  

 

 

-

10


 

   but--as befits women making a claim to godliness--with the ornament of good works.  

 

 

-

11


 

   A woman should quietly learn from others with entire submissiveness.  

 

 

-

12


 

   I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man, but she must remain silent.  

 

 

-

13


 

   For Adam was formed first, and then Eve;  

 

 

-

14


 

   and Adam was not deceived, but his wife was thoroughly deceived, and so became involved in transgression.  

 

 

-

15


 

   Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint.
