1 Timothy 2:4-15 ▼

4 Who wisheth all men to be saved, and to come into a full knowledge of truth.

5 For there is one God, one Mediator also between God and men, a Man, Christ Jesus,

6 Who gave Himself a ransom for all, the testimony for its own times,

7 whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak truth, I lie not), a teacher of gentiles in faith and truth.

8 I desire, therefore, that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing;

9 in like manner, that women adorn themselves in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety, not with braided hair , and gold, or pearls, or costly raiment,

10 but (which becomes women professing godliness) through good works.

11 Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection.

12 But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.

13 For Adam first was formed, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not deceived; but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into transgression.

15 But she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they abide in faith, and love, and holiness, with sobriety.
