1 Timothy 2

Church Worship
1First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, requests, and thanksgivings be offered to God for all people; 2for kings and all others who are in authority, that we may live a quiet and peaceful life with all reverence towards God and with proper conduct. 3This is good and it pleases God our Saviour, 4who wants everyone to be saved and to come to know the truth. 5For there is one God, and there is one who brings God and human beings together, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself to redeem everyone. That was the proof at the right time that God wants everyone to be saved, 7#2 Tim 1.11and that is why I was sent as an apostle and teacher of the Gentiles, to proclaim the message of faith and truth. I am not lying; I am telling the truth!
8In every church service I want the men to pray, men who are dedicated to God and can lift up their hands in prayer without anger or argument. 9#1 Pet 3.3I also want the women to be modest and sensible about their clothes and to dress properly; not with fancy hair styles or with gold ornaments or pearls or expensive dresses, 10but with good deeds, as is proper for women who claim to be religious. 11Women should learn in silence and all humility. 12I do not allow them to teach or to have authority over men; they must keep quiet. 13#Gen 2.7, 21–22For Adam was created first, and then Eve. 14#Gen 3.1–6And it was not Adam who was deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and broke God's law. 15But a woman will be saved through having children,#2.15 will be saved through having children; or will be kept safe through childbirth. if she perseveres#2.15 if she perseveres; or if they persevere. in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.

Instructions on Prayer
1First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, 2for kings and all those who are in authority,#Ezr 6:10; Rm 13:1; 1Co 2:1 so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness#2Pt 1:3 and dignity.#1Tm 3:4; Ti 2:7 3This is good, and it pleases God our Savior,#1Tm 1:1 4who wants everyone#Ti 2:11 to be saved#Ezk 18:23,32; Jn 3:17; 1Tm 4:10; Ti 2:11; 2Pt 3:9 and to come to the knowledge of the truth.#Jn 14:6,17
5For there is one God#Dt 6:4; Gl 3:20 and one mediator#Heb 8:6 between God and mankind, the man#Jn 1:14; Php 2:7; 3:3; 1Jn 4:2; 5:20 Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself as a ransom for all,#Mt 20:28; Gl 1:4 a testimony at the proper time.
7For this I was appointed a herald, an apostle#Eph 3:7–8; 1Tm 1:11; 2Tm 1:11 (I am telling the truth;#2:7 Other mss add in Christ I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles#Ac 9:15 in faith and truth.
Instructions to Men and Women
8Therefore, I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.#Mk 7:21; Lk 9:46–47; 24:38; Rm 14:1; Php 2:14 9Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing,#1Pt 3:3 with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold,#Rv 3:18 pearls, or expensive apparel, 10but with good works,#2Co 9:8; Gl 3:10 as is proper for women who profess to worship God. 11A woman is to learn quietly with full submission.#1Co 14:34; Ti 2:5 12I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; instead, she is to remain quiet. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve.#Gn 2:7,22; 3:16; 1Co 11:8–12 14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed.#Gn 3:6,13; 2Co 11:3 15But she will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness,#1Th 3:12–4:10 with good sense.
