Bible Book - INDEX

MODERN LITERAL VERSION

2:1 Therefore I encourage first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made* on behalf of all men,

2:2 on behalf of kings and all who are in superior-stations; that* we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness* and honesty.

2:3 For* this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;

2:4 who wishes all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth.

2:5 For* there is one God, one intermediary of God and of men, the man, Christ Jesus,

2:6 who gave himself as a ransom on behalf of all; the testimony given in its own times;

2:7 to which I was appointed* a preacher and an apostle, (I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying), and a teacher of the nations in faith and truth.


2:8 {F} Therefore I will that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and reasoning.


2:9 Likewise* also, let the women adorn themselves in a respectable array, with modesty and self-discipline; not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly garments;

2:10 but what is suitable to women professing godliness through good works.

2:11 Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

2:12 Now I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to dominate a man, but to be in quietness.


2:13 For* Adam was first molded, thereafter Eve;

2:14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman having been deceived has become the one in transgression;

2:15 but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they remain in faith and love* and sanctification with self-discipline.
{Footnotes: 1Tim 2:8-12 is probably meant in a religious place or congregation* otherwise verse 12 would be a Bible contradiction.}
