1 Timothy 2

World English Bible · 15 verses · Study below

Open saved chapters

I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,

for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.

For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,

to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying—a teacher of the in faith and truth.

I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,

but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.

Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.

But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.

For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;

but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.

About this reading layout

Reading paragraphs add editorial spacing between unchanged verses. They do not reconstruct the original manuscript’s paragraphs. Verse numbers, supplied line breaks and citation links are retained. Books such as Psalms and Proverbs keep verses on separate lines; original-language and comparison views stay aligned by verse. Choose One verse per line in Reading settings whenever you prefer.

Open Word Bridge above, or tap any verse number for its word connections, cross-references, audio, and share links. Dotted words have a plain-language definition.
