Chapter 1 Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2

First

of all,

then,

I urge that

petitions,

prayers,

intercessions,

and thanksgiving

be offered

on behalf of

all

men

for

kings

and

all

those

in

authority,

so that

we may lead

tranquil

and

quiet

lives

in

all

godliness

and

dignity.

This

is good

and

pleasing

in the sight of

God

our

Savior,

who

desires

all

men

to be saved

and

to come

to

the knowledge

of the truth.

For

there is one

God

and

one

mediator

between God

and

men,

the man

Christ

Jesus,

who

gave

Himself

as a ransom

for

all—

the

testimony that was given

at just the right time.

For

this reason

I

was appointed as

a herald,

an apostle,

and

a faithful

and

TRUE

teacher

of the Gentiles.

I am telling

the truth;

I am not

lying about anything .

Therefore

I want

the

men

everywhere

to pray,

lifting up

holy

hands,

without

anger

or

dissension.

Likewise,

I want

the women

to adorn

themselves

with

respectable

apparel,

with

modesty,

and

with self-control,

not

with

braided hair

or

gold

or

pearls

or

expensive

clothes,

but

with

good

deeds,

as

is proper

for women who

profess

to worship God.

A woman

must learn

in

quietness

and

full

submissiveness.

I do not permit

a woman

to teach

or

exercise authority over

a man;

she is to remain

quiet.

For

Adam

was formed

first,

and then

Eve.

And

it was not

Adam

who was deceived,

but

the

woman

who was deceived

and fell

into

transgression.

Women, however, will be saved

through

childbearing,

if

they continue

in

faith,

love,

and

holiness,

with

self-control.
