1 Timothy 2

A Call to Prayer

^{Tools
1} First of all, then, I urge that ^(A)entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, ^{Tools
2} ^(B)for kings and all who are in ^(a)authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and ^(b)dignity. ^{Tools
3} This is good and acceptable in the sight of ^(C)God our Savior, ^{Tools
4} ^(D)who desires all men to be ^(E)saved and to ^(F)come to the ^(c)knowledge of the truth. ^{Tools
5} For there is ^(G)one God, and ^(H)one mediator also between God and men, the ^(I)man Christ Jesus, ^{Tools
6} who ^(J)gave Himself as a ransom for all, the ^(K)testimony ^(d)given at ^(e)^(L)the proper time. ^{Tools
7} ^(M)For this I was appointed a ^(f)preacher and ^(N)an apostle (^(O)I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of ^(P)the Gentiles in faith and truth.

^{Tools
8} Therefore ^(Q)I want the men ^(R)in every place to pray, ^(S)lifting up ^(T)holy hands, without wrath and dissension.

Women Instructed

^{Tools
9} Likewise, I want ^(U)women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, ^(g)modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, ^{Tools
10} but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. ^{Tools
11} ^(V)A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. ^{Tools
12} ^(W)But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. ^{Tools
13} ^(X)For it was Adam who was first ^(h)created, and then Eve. ^{Tools
14} And it was not Adam who was deceived, but ^(Y)the woman being deceived, ⁽ⁱ⁾fell into transgression. ^{Tools
15} But women will be ^(j)preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in ^(Z)faith and love and sanctity with ^(k)self-restraint.
