1 Timothy 2:1-10 ▼

1 I Beseech therefore, first of all, supplications to be made, prayers, entreaties, thanks, for all men;

2 For kings, and all them being in eminence; that we may lead a gentle and quiet life, in all devotion and gravity.

3 For this good and acceptable before our Saviour God;

4 Who wills all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5 For one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

6 Having given himself a ransom for all, a testimony in his own time.

7 For which I was placed a herald, and the sent, (I speak truth in Christ, I lie not;) a teacher of the nations in faith and truth.

8 I will therefore men shall pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without anger and reasoning.

9 And likewise the women in well arranged simplicity, with modesty and discretion, arrange themselves; not in tresses, or gold, or pearls, or expensive clothing;

10 But (what become women professing religious worship) with good works.
