| 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. |
