1 Timothy 2

MSG

NIV

1 The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.
1 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—
2 Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation.
2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
3 This is the way our Savior God wants us to live.
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
4 He wants not only us but everyone saved, you know, everyone to get to know the truth we've learned:
4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
5 that there's one God and only one, and one Priest-Mediator between God and us - Jesus,
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who offered himself in exchange for everyone held captive by sin, to set them all free. Eventually the news is going to get out.
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.
7 This and this only has been my appointed work: getting this news to those who have never heard of God, and explaining how it works by simple faith and plain 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 true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.
8 Since prayer is at the bottom of all this, what I want mostly is for men to pray - not shaking angry fists at enemies but raising holy hands to God.
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.
9 And I want women to get in there with the men in humility before God, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions
9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
10 but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it.
10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
11 I don't let women take over and tell the men what to do.
11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.
12 They should study to be quiet and obedient along with everyone else.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.
13 Adam was made first, then Eve;
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 woman was deceived first - our pioneer in sin! - with Adam right on her heels.
14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
15 On the other hand, her childbearing brought about salvation, reversing Eve. But this salvation only comes to those who continue in faith, love, and holiness, gathering it all into maturity. You can depend on this.
15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
