1 Timoteo 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: One mediator. . .Christ is the one and only mediator of redemption, who gave himself, as the apostle writes in the following verse.

⁶Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times. A redemption for all. . . He is also the only mediator, who stands in need of no other to recommend his petitions to the Father. But this is not against our seeking the prayers and intercession, as well of the faithful upon earth, as of the saints and angels in heaven, for obtaining mercy, grace, and salvation, through Jesus Christ. As St. Paul himself often desired the help of he prayers of the faithful, without any injury to the mediatorship of Jesus Christ.

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.

¹³1Ti 2:13.For 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 child bearing; if she continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
