1 Timothy 2
Disciples’ Literal New Testament

First, I Urge That Prayers And Thanksgivings Be Made For All People

2 First of all then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all the ones being in a place of superiority, in order that we may spend[a] a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This[b] is good and acceptable[c] in the sight of our Savior God, 4 Who desires[d] all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

For Jesus Gave Himself As a Ransom For All

5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and people— the man Christ Jesus, 6 the One having given Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given in His[e] own times 7 for which I was appointed a proclaimer and an apostle (I am telling the truth; I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in[f] faith and truth. 8 So I want the men in every place to be praying, lifting-up holy hands without anger and argument.

Women’s Appearance And Behavior Should Be Fitting For Ones Professing Godliness

9 Similarly also, I urge that women be adorning themselves in well-ordered[g] apparel with modesty and sound-mindedness[h]— not in braided hair and gold or pearls or very-expensive clothing, 10 but through[i] good works, which is fitting for women professing godliness[j]. 11 Let a woman be learning in quietness with all submission. 12 And I do not permit a woman to teach nor have-authority-over[k] a man, but to be in quietness. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived[l], but the woman, having been completely-deceived, has come-to-be in transgression. 15 But she[m] will be saved by[n] The Childbearing, if they[o] continue in faith and love and holiness with sound-mindedness.

1 Timothy 2
New International Version

Instructions on Worship

2 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers,(A) intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority,(B) that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness(C) and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases(D) God our Savior,(E) 4 who wants(F) all people(G) to be saved(H) and to come to a knowledge of the truth.(I) 5 For there is one God(J) and one mediator(K) between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,(L) 6 who gave himself as a ransom(M) for all people. This has now been witnessed to(N) at the proper time.(O) 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying(P)—and a true and faithful teacher(Q) of the Gentiles.(R)

8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands(S) 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,(T) 10 but with good deeds,(U) appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

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