1 Timothy 2:1-15.
1 Timothy 2:1-15 (Good News Translation)
1First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, requests, and
thanksgivings be offered to God for all people;
2for kings and all others who are in authority, that we may
live a quiet and peaceful life with all reverence toward God and with
proper conduct.
3This is good and it pleases God our Savior,
4who wants everyone to be saved and to come to know the truth.
5For there is one God, and there is one who brings God and
human beings together, the man Christ Jesus,
6who gave himself to redeem the whole human race. That was the
proof at the right time that God wants everyone to be saved,
7and that is why I was sent as an apostle and teacher of the
Gentiles, to proclaim the message of faith and truth. I am not lying; I am
telling the truth!
8In every church service I want the men to pray, men who are
dedicated to God and can lift up their hands in prayer without anger or
argument.
9I also want the women to be modest and sensible about their
clothes and to dress properly; not with fancy hair styles or with gold
ornaments or pearls or expensive dresses,
10but with good deeds, as is proper for women who claim to be
religious.
11Women should learn in silence and all humility.
12I do not allow them to teach or to have authority over men;
they must keep quiet.
13For Adam was created first, and then Eve.
14And it was not Adam who was deceived; it was the woman who
was deceived and broke God's law.
15But a woman will be saved through having children,
if she perseveres
in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.
God bless you.
