1 Timothy 2
2
1I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; 2for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity. 3This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4who willeth that all men should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times; 7whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.
9In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment; 10but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works. 11Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection. 12But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness. 13For Adam was first formed, then Eve; 14and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression: 15but she shall be saved through the childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.

1 Timothy 2
2
1I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men:
2For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.
3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,
4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus:
6Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times.
7Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle, (I say the truth, I lie not,) a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention.
9In like manner women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire,
10But as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works.
11Let the woman learn in silence, with all subjection.
12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence.
13For Adam was first formed; then Eve.
14And Adam was not seduced; but the woman being seduced, was in the transgression.
15Yet she shall be saved through childbearing; if she continue in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
