NASB Bible

1 Timothy 2

A Call to Prayer

1

First of all, then, I urge that  aentreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,

2

 afor kings and all who are in  1authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and  2dignity.

3

This is good and acceptable in the sight of  aGod our Savior,

4

 awho desires all men to be  bsaved and to  ccome to the  1knowledge of the truth.

5

For there is  aone God, and  bone mediator also between God and men, the  cman Christ Jesus,

6

who  agave Himself as a ransom for all, the  btestimony  1given at  2 cthe proper time.

7

 aFor this I was appointed a  1preacher and  ban apostle ( cI am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of  dthe Gentiles in faith and truth.

8

Therefore  aI want the men  bin every place to pray,  clifting up  dholy hands, without wrath and dissension.

Women Instructed

9

Likewise, I want  awomen to adorn themselves with proper clothing,  1modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,

10

but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.

11

 aA woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness.

12

 aBut I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.

13

 aFor it was Adam who was first  1created, and then Eve.

14

And it was not Adam who was deceived, but  athe woman being deceived,  1fell into transgression.

15

But women will be  1preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in  afaith and love and sanctity with  2self-restraint.
