1 Timothy 2:1-10 ▼

1 I exhort therefore, that firste of all, prayers, supplications, intercessios and geuynge of thankes be made for all men:

2 For kynges, and for all that are in auctoritie, that we maye leade a quiete and peaceable lyfe, in all godlynesse and honestie.

3 For that is good and accepted in the syght of God our sauiour,

4 Who wyll haue all men to be saued, and to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth.

5 For there is one God, and one mediatour of God and men, the man Christe Iesus:

6 Who gaue him selfe a raunsome for all, a testimonie in due tymes.

7 Wherevnto I am ordeined a preacher and an apostle (I tell the trueth in Christe, and lye not) a teacher of the gentiles in fayth and veritie.

8 I wyll therefore, that the men praye euerywhere, lyftyng vp holy handes, without wrath and reasonyng.

9 Lykewyse also the women, that they araye them selues in comely apparell, with shamefastnesse, and discrete behauiour, not in brayded heere, either golde or pearles, or costly aray:

10 But (that becommeth women professyng godlynesse) through good workes.
