The Charge to Timothy Renewed

¹⁸ Timothy, my son,^(A) I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you,^(B) so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well,^{(C) 19} holding on to faith and a good conscience,^(D) which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.^{(E) 20} Among them are Hymenaeus^(F) and Alexander,^(G) whom I have handed over to Satan^(H) to be taught not to blaspheme.

⁸ Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands^(A) without anger or disputing. ⁹ I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,^{(B) 10} but with good deeds,^(C) appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

¹¹ A woman^[a] should learn in quietness and full submission.^{(D) 12} I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;^[b] she must be quiet.^{(E) 13} For Adam was formed first, then Eve.^{(F) 14} And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.^{(G) 15} But women^[c] will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love^(H) and holiness with propriety.
