1 Timothy 2

HNV

MSG

1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men:
1 The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.
2 for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
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.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God, our Savior;
3 This is the way our Savior God wants us to live.
4 who desires to have all men to be saved, and come to full knowledge of the truth.
4 He wants not only us but everyone saved, you know, everyone to get to know the truth we've learned:
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Messiah Yeshua,
5 that there's one God and only one, and one Priest-Mediator between God and us - Jesus,
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;
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.
7 to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth in Messiah, not lying), a teacher of the Goyim in faith and truth.
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.
8 I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
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.
9 In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly clothing;
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
10 but (which becomes women professing godliness) through good works.
10 but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
11 I don't let women take over and tell the men what to do.
12 But I don't permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
12 They should study to be quiet and obedient along with everyone else.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Havah.
13 Adam was made first, then Eve;
14 Adam wasn't deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
14 woman was deceived first - our pioneer in sin! - with Adam right on her heels.
15 but she will be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.
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.
