1 Timothy 2:1-10 ▼

1 Moreover, first of all things, I exhort you, that prayers, supplications, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made in behalf of all men;

2 for kings and all who are in authority; in order that we may lead a peaceable and quiet life in all godliness and honesty.

3 This is beautiful and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 who wishes all men to be saved, and to come to the perfect knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and there is also one mediator of God and men, the man, Christ Jesus,

6 the one having given himself a ransom for all, a testimony in due time;

7 in which I have been placed a herald and an apostle I speak the truth, I lie not, a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and in truth.

8 Therefore I wish that men in every place would all pray, holding up holy hands, without wrath and doubting:

9 likewise that the women adorn themselves in comely apparel, with modesty and prudence; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly garments;

10 but whatsoever becomes women professing godliness, through good works.
