Chapter 2 |
| 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. |
