CPDV - I Timothy - 2

2:1  And so I beg you, first of all, to make supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings for all men,

2:2  for kings, and for all who are in high places, so that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and chastity.

2:3  For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

2:4  who wants all men to be saved and to arrive at an acknowledgment of the truth.

2:5  For there is one God, and one mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,

2:6  who gave himself as a redemption for all, as a testimony in its proper time.

2:7  Of this testimony, I have been appointed a preacher and an Apostle, (I speak the truth, I do not lie) as a teacher of the Gentiles, in faith and in truth.

2:8  Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.

2:9  Similarly also, women should be dressed fittingly, adorning themselves with compunction and restraint, and not with plaited hair, nor gold, nor pearls, nor costly attire,

2:10  but in a manner proper for women who are professing piety by means of good works.

2:11  Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.

2:12  For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to be in authority over a man, but to be in silence.

2:13  For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

2:14  And Adam was not seduced, but the woman, having been seduced, was in transgression.

2:15  Yet she will be saved by bearing children, if she has continued in faith and love, and in sanctification accompanied by self-restraint.
