1 Timothy 2

Common English Bible CEB

1 First of all, then, I ask that requests, prayers, petitions, and thanksgiving be made for all people.

2 Pray for kings and everyone who is in authority so that we can live a quiet and peaceful life in complete godliness and dignity.

3 This is right and it pleases God our savior,

4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

5 There is one God and one mediator between God and humanity, the human Christ Jesus,

6 who gave himself as a payment to set all people free. This was a testimony that was given at the right time.

7 I was appointed to be a preacher and apostle of this testimony—I'm telling the truth and I'm not lying! I'm a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8 Therefore, I want men to pray everywhere by lifting up hands that are holy, without anger or argument.

9 In the same way, I want women to enhance their appearance with clothing that is modest and sensible, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, pearls, or expensive clothes.

10 They should make themselves attractive by doing good, which is appropriate for women who claim to honor God.

11 A wife should learn quietly with complete submission.

12 I don't allow a wife to teach or to control her husband. Instead, she should be a quiet listener.

13 Adam was formed first, and then Eve.

14 Adam wasn't deceived, but rather his wife became the one who stepped over the line because she was completely deceived.

15 But a woman will be kept safe through childbirth provided she continues in faith, love, and holiness, combined with self-control.

1 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—

2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,

4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.

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 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.

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 with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.

12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.

13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
