| Weymouth New Testament (WNT) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 I exhort then, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men;
|
1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone--
|
|
2 including kings and all who are in high station, in order that we may live peaceful and tranquil lives with all godliness and gravity.
|
2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
|
|
3 This is right, and is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour,
|
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
|
|
4 who is willing for all mankind to be saved and come to a full 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 but one God and but one Mediator between God and men--Christ Jesus, Himself man;
|
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
|
|
6 who gave Himself as the redemption price for all--a fact testified to at its own appointed time,
|
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time.
|
|
7 and of which I have been appointed a herald and an Apostle (I am speaking the truth: it is not a fiction), a teacher 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 So then I would have the men everywhere pray, lifting to God holy hands which are unstained with anger or strife;
|
8 I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.
|
|
9 and I would have the women dress becomingly, with modesty and self-control, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls or costly 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 but--as befits women making a claim to godliness--with the ornament of good works.
|
10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
|
|
11 A woman should quietly learn from others with entire submissiveness.
|
11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.
|
|
12 I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man, but she must remain silent.
|
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, and then Eve;
|
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
|
|
14 and Adam was not deceived, but his wife was thoroughly deceived, and so became involved in transgression.
|
14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
|
|
15 Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint.
|
15 But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
