1 Timothy 2
1I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men:
2for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God, our Savior;
4who desires to have all men to be saved, and come to full knowledge of the truth.
5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
6who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;
7to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
9In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly clothing;
10but (which becomes women professing godliness) through good works.
11Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
12But I don`t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
13For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14Adam wasn`t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
15but she will be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.
