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.

English Standard Version ESV

1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,

2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

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

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

6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.

7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle ( I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;

9 likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire,

10 but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.

11 Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness.

12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.

13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve;

14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
