New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all men:
|
1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone--
|
|
2 For kings and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.
|
2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
|
|
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,
|
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
|
|
4 Who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
|
4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
|
|
5 For there is one God: and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus:
|
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
|
|
6 Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times.
|
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time.
|
|
7 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle (I say the truth, I lie not), a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
|
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 I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention.
|
8 I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.
|
|
9 In like manner, women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire:
|
9 I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
|
|
10 But, as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works.
|
10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
|
|
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
|
11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.
|
|
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence.
|
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.
|
|
13 Adam was first formed; then Eve.
|
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
|
|
14 And Adam was not seduced; but the woman, being seduced, was in the transgression.
|
14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
|
|
15 Yet she shall be saved through child bearing; if she continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
|
15 But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
