Return to Index.

| # Chapter 2
#### 1 | I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men;
#### 2 | for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.
#### 3 | This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
#### 4 | who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.
#### 5 | For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus,
#### 6 | who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times;
#### 7 | whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the 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 modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;
#### 10 | but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.
#### 11 | Let a woman learn in quietness with 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 was first formed, then Eve;
#### 14 | and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:
#### 15 | but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
