THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO TIMOTHY 2

Text size

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 Where unto 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 ⚑
