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.

1 Timothy 2
2
1 And so I beg you, first of all, to make supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings for all men,
2 for kings, and for all who are in high places, so that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and chastity.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
4 who wants all men to be saved and to arrive at an acknowledgment of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself as a redemption for all, as a testimony in its proper time.
7 Of this testimony, I have been appointed a preacher and an Apostle, (I speak the truth, I do not lie) as a teacher of the Gentiles, in faith and in truth.
8 Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.
9 Similarly also, women should be dressed fittingly, adorning themselves with compunction and restraint, and not with plaited hair, nor gold, nor pearls, nor costly attire,
10 but in a manner proper for women who are professing piety by means of good works.
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to be in authority over a man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not seduced, but the woman, having been seduced, was in transgression.
15 Yet she will be saved by bearing children, if she has continued in faith and love, and in sanctification accompanied by self-restraint.
