1 Timothy

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.💡

3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;💡

4who would have all men to 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 her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.💡
