The In-Dept Study of the Bible
Timothy 02
1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that
petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings
of thanks be made for all men,
2 for kings and all who are in high places,
that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life
in all godliness and reverence.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the
sight of God our Savior,
4 who desires all people to be saved and
come to full 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 as a ransom for all,
the testimony at the proper time,
7 to which I was appointed a preacher
and an apostle—I am telling the truth in
Christ, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles
in faith and truth.
8 I desire therefore that the men in every
place pray, lifting up holy hands without
anger and doubting.
9 In the same way, that women also
adorn themselves in decent clothing, with
modesty and propriety, not† with braided
hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,
10 but with good works, which is appropriate
for women professing godliness.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness with
full submission.
12 But I don’t permit a woman to teach,
nor to exercise authority over a man, but
to be in quietness.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 Adam wasn’t deceived, but the
woman, being deceived, has fallen into
disobedience;
15 but she will be saved through her
childbearing, if they continue in faith,
love, and holiness with sobriety.
