I TIMOTHY CHAPTER II

[1 He exhorteth to pray and give thanks for all men,4 for God willeth the 
salvation of all men; 7 his commission to the Gentiles. 9 How women 
ought to be attired;] 

I EXHORT therefore, that, first of all, supplications, 
prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks 
be made for all men:
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority;
that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all 
godliness and honesty. 
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight 
of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to 
come unto the knowledge of the truth. 
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between
God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be 
testified in due time. 
7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher and an 
apostle, ( I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not,) 
a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 
8 I will therefore that men pray every where, 
lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 
9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves 
in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and 
sobriety; not with broidered hair, or gold, or 
pearls, or costly array, 
10 But (which becometh women professing godliness)
with good works. 
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to 
usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman 
being deceived was in the transgression. 
15 Nothwithstanding, she shall be saved in childbearing, 
if they continue in faith, and charity, and 
holiness, with sobriety.
