New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 Therefore I beseech first of all things, that beseechings, prayers, askings, doing of thankings, 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 all that be set in highness, that we 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 thing is good and accepted before God, our Saviour,
|
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
|
|
4 that will that all men be made safe, and that they come to the knowing of truth. [that will all men to be made safe, and to come to the knowing of truth.]
|
4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
|
|
5 For one God and one mediator is of God and of men, a man Christ Jesus,
|
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
|
|
6 that gave himself redemption for all men. Whose witnessing is confirmed in his times;
|
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time.
|
|
7 in which I am set a preacher and an apostle. For I say truth, and I lie not, that am a teacher of heathen men in faith and in truth [Soothly I say truth in Christ Jesus, and I lie not, a teacher of heathen men 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 Therefore I will, that men pray in all place, lifting up clean hands without wrath and strife [lifting up clean hands without wrath and disputing, or strife].
|
8 I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.
|
|
9 Also women in suitable habit, with shamefastness and soberness arraying themselves [Also and women in adorned, or covenable, habit, with shamefastness and soberness adorning themselves], not in wreathed hairs, either in gold, or pearls, or precious cloth;
|
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 that that becometh women, promising piety by good works.
|
10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
|
|
11 A woman learn [she] in silence, with all subjection.
|
11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.
|
|
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, neither to have lordship on the husband [neither for to have lordship on 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 For Adam was first formed, afterward Eve;
|
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
|
|
14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived, in breaking of the law [in prevarication, or breaking of the law].
|
14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
|
|
15 But she shall be saved by generation of children, if she dwell perfectly in faith, and love, and holiness, with soberness.
|
15 But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
