1 Timothy 2

¹I desire therefore first of all things that obsecrations, prayers, postulations, thanks-givings be made for all men,

²for kings and all that are in preeminence: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.

³For this is good and acceptable before our Saviour God,

⁴who will all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

⁵For there is one God, one also mediator of God and men, man Christ Jesus:

⁶who gave himself a redemption for all, whose testimony in due times is confirmed.

⁷Wherein I am appointed a preacher and an Apostle (I say the truth, I lie not) doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

⁸I will therefore that men pray in every place: lifting up pure hands, without anger and altercation.

⁹In like manner women also in comely attire: with demureness and sobriety adorning themselves, not in plaited hair, or gold, or precious stones, or gorgeous apparel,

¹⁰but that which becometh women professing piety by good works.

¹¹Let a woman learn in silence, with all subjection.

¹²But to teach I permit not unto a woman, nor to have dominion over the man: but to be in silence.

¹³For Adam was formed first; then Eve.

¹⁴And Adam was not seduced: but the woman being seduced, was in prevarication.

¹⁵Yet she shall be saved by generation of children: if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
