1 Timothy 2

King James Version KJV

1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

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

6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

The Message Bible MSG

1 The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

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 This is the way our Savior God wants us to live.

4 He wants not only us but everyone saved, you know, everyone to get to know the truth we've learned:

5 that there's one God and only one, and one Priest-Mediator between God and us - 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.

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 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 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 doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it.

11 I don't let women take over and tell the men what to do.

12 They should study to be quiet and obedient along with everyone else.

13 Adam was made first, then Eve;

14 woman was deceived first - our pioneer in sin! - with Adam right on her heels.

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.
