1 Timothy, Chapter 2

1. I exhort, therefore, first of all, that there be made -- supplications, prayers, intercessions, thankgivings, in behalf of all men,    2. In behalf of kings, and all them who are, in eminent station; in order that, an undisturbed, and quiet life, we may lead, in all godliness and gravity:    3. This, is comely and acceptable before our Saviour God,    4. Who willeth, all men, to be saved, and, unto a personal knowledge of truth, to come;    5. For there is, one, God, one, mediator also, between God and men, -- a man -- Christ Jesus:    6. Who gave himself a ransom in behalf of all, -- the testimony, in its own fit times:    7. Unto which, I, have been appointed proclaimer and apostle -- Truth I speak, I utter no falsehood -- a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.    8. I am minded, therefore, that -- the men in every place be offering prayer, uplifting hands of lovingkindness, apart from anger and disputings;    9. In the same way, that, the women, in seemly attire, with modesty and sober-mindedness, be adorning themselves, -- not with plaitings and ornamentation of gold, or with pearls, or with costly apparel, --    10. But, which becometh women promising godliness, through means of good works.    11. Let, a woman, in quietness, be learning in all submission;    12. But, teaching -- unto a woman, I do not permit, nor yet to have authority over a man, -- but to be in quietness;    13. For, Adam, first was formed, then Eve,    14. And, Adam, was not deceived, whereas, the woman, having been wholly deceived, hath come to be, in transgression;    15. She shall be saved, however, through means of the child-bearing, -- if they abide in faith, and love, and holiness, with sobermindedness. Faithful, the saying.
