| Chapter 2 (CV) 1
I am entreating, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, pleadings, thanksgiving be
made for all mankind,
2 for kings and all those being in a superior station,
that we may be leading a mild and quiet life in all devoutness and gravity,
3 for this is ideal and welcome in the sight of our
Saviour, God,
4 Who wills that all mankind be saved and come into a
realization of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one Mediator of God and
mankind, a Man, Christ Jesus,
6 Who is giving Himself a correspondent Ransom for all
(the testimony in its own eras),
7 for which I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I am
telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the nations in knowledge and truth.
8 I am intending, then, that men pray in every place,
lifting up benign hands, apart from anger and reasoning.
9 Similarly, women also are to be adorning themselves in
raiment, decorously, with modesty and sanity, not with braids and gold, or pearls or
costly vesture,
10 but (what is becoming to women professing a reverence
for God) with good works.
11 Let a woman be learning in quietness with all
subjection.
12 Now I am not permitting a woman to be teaching nor yet
to be domineering over a man,, but to be in quietness
13 (for Adam was first molded, thereafter Eve,
14 and Adam was not seduced, yet the woman, being
deluded, has come to be in the transgression).
15 Yet she shall be saved through the child bearing, if
ever they should be remaining in faith and love and holiness with sanity. |
Chapter 2 (KJV) 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. |
