| 2:1 | Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks be made for all men, |
| 2:2 | for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. |
| 2:3 | For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, |
| 2:4 | who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. |
| 2:5 | For [there is] one God and one Mediator between God and men, [the] Man Christ Jesus, |
| 2:6 | who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, |
| 2:7 | for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostleI am speaking the truth in Christ [and] not lyinga teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. |
| 2:8 | I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; |
| 2:9 | in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, |
| 2:10 | but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. |
| 2:11 | Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. |
| 2:12 | And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. |
| 2:13 | For Adam was formed first, then Eve. |
| 2:14 | And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. |
| 2:15 | Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with selfcontrol. |
