New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 First of all, then, I counsel that petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all human beings,
|
1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone--
|
|
2 including kings and all in positions of prominence; so that we may lead quiet and peaceful lives, being godly and upright in everything.
|
2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
|
|
3 This is what God, our Deliverer, regards as good; this is what meets his approval.
|
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
|
|
4 He wants all humanity to be delivered and come to full knowledge of the truth.
|
4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
|
|
5 For God is one;a and there is but one Mediator between God and humanity, Yeshua the Messiah, himself human,
|
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
|
|
6 who gave himself as a ransom on behalf of all, thus providing testimony to God's purpose at just the right time.
|
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time.
|
|
7 This is why I myself was appointed a proclaimer, even an emissary - I am telling the truth, not lying! - a trustworthy and truthful teacher of the Goyim.
|
7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.
|
|
8 Therefore, it is my wish that when the men pray, no matter where, they should lift up hands that are holy - they should not become angry or get into arguments.
|
8 I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.
|
|
9 Likewise, the women, when they pray, should be dressed modestly and sensibly in respectable attire, not with elaborate hairstyles and gold jewelry, or pearls, or expensive clothes.
|
9 I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
|
|
10 Rather, they should adorn themselves with what is appropriate for women who claim to be worshipping God, namely, good deeds.
|
10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
|
|
11 Let a woman learn in peace, fully submitted;
|
11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.
|
|
12 but I do not permit a woman to teach a man or exercise authority over him; rather, she is to remain at peace.
|
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.
|
|
13 For Adam was formed first, then Havah.
|
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
|
|
14 Also it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who, on being deceived, became involved in the transgression.
|
14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
|
|
15 Nevertheless, the woman will be delivered through childbearing, provided that she continues trusting, loving and living a holy life with modesty.
|
15 But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
