# Chapter 2
|
|
1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone,
|
|
2 for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
|
|
3 This is good, and it pleases God our Savior,
|
|
4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
|
|
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,
|
|
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, a testimony at the proper time.
|
|
7 For this I was appointed a herald, an apostle (I am telling the truth; I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
|
|
8 Therefore, I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.
|
|
9 Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing, with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, pearls, or expensive apparel,
|
|
10 but with good works, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
|
|
11 A woman is to learn quietly with full submission.
|
|
12 I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; instead, she is to remain quiet.
|
|
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
|
|
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed.
|
|
15 But she will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with good sense. |
