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. |
