1 Timothy 2
Instructions concerning
Prayer |
1 |
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. 2 Tim. 1.11
|
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 braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 1 Pet.
3.3
|
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, Gen.
2.7 then Eve. Gen. 2.21, 22
|
14 |
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman
being deceived was in the transgression. Gen. 3.1-6
|
15 |
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in
childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness
with sobriety.
