1 Timothy 2 (Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha)
View In My Bible
1
First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, requests, and thanksgivings be offered to God for all people;
2
for kings and all others who are in authority, that we may live a quiet and peaceful life with all reverence toward God and with proper conduct.
3
This is good and it pleases God our Savior,
4
who wants everyone to be saved and to come to know the truth.
5
For there is one God, and there is one who brings God and human beings together, the man Christ Jesus,
6
who gave himself to redeem the whole human race. That was the proof at the right time that God wants everyone to be saved,
7
and that is why I was sent as an apostle and teacher of the Gentiles, to proclaim the message of faith and truth. I am not lying; I am telling the truth! 1
8
In every church service I want the men to pray, men who are dedicated to God and can lift up their hands in prayer without anger or argument.
9
I also want the women to be modest and sensible about their clothes and to dress properly; not with fancy hair styles or with gold ornaments or pearls or expensive dresses, 2
10
but with good deeds, as is proper for women who claim to be religious.
11
Women should learn in silence and all humility.
12
I do not allow them to teach or to have authority over men; they must keep quiet.
13
For Adam was created first, and then Eve. 3
14
And it was not Adam who was deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and broke God's law. 4
15
But a woman will be saved through having children, a if she perseveres b in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.
