FBV 1TIM Chapter 2

1TIM 2 ©

2First of all, I want to encourage you to pray for everybody: make requests of God, ask on their behalf, and give thanks. 2Pray like this for kings and all types of leaders so that we may live quiet and peaceful lives, always thinking about God and taking life seriously. 3This is what is good, and what pleases God our Savior. 4He wants everyone to be saved, and come to understand what truth really is.

5For there is one God, and one mediator of God and mankind—the man Christ Jesus. 6He gave himself so we could all be won back, demonstrating the evidence at the right time. 7I was appointed to share this message and be its messenger,[fn] a teacher to the foreigners[fn] about trusting God and the truth (I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth!)

8What I really want is for men everywhere to pray sincerely to God.[fn] No anger or arguments! 9In the same way, women should dress sensibly, modestly, and appropriately. They should be attractive not in their hairstyle or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10but by the good things they do—as is appropriate for women who claim to follow God. 11Women should learn quietly, respecting their place. 12I don't allow women to be instructors, or to dominate men; let them remain quiet.[fn] 13For Adam was made first, and then Eve. 14Adam wasn't deceived, but Eve was completely deceived, and she fell into sin. 15However, women will be saved through becoming mothers,[fn] as long as they continue to trust and love, and to live holy, sensible lives.
