The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy

Chapter 2

American Standard Version

1 Ti 2:1I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men;
1 Ti 2:2for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.
1 Ti 2:3This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1 Ti 2:4who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.
1 Ti 2:5For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus,
1 Ti 2:6who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times;
1 Ti 2:7whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
1 Ti 2:8I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.
1 Ti 2:9In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;
1 Ti 2:10but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.
1 Ti 2:11Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
1 Ti 2:12But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.
1 Ti 2:13For Adam was first formed, then Eve;
1 Ti 2:14and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:
1 Ti 2:15but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
