1 Timothy 2
Reading 1 Timothy chapter 2 in the Darby Bible, public-domain text from 1890.
Verses 1–10
1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made for all men;
2 for kings and all that are in dignity, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and gravity;
3 for this is good and acceptable before our SaviourGod,
4 who desires that all men should be saved and come to [the] knowledge of [the] truth.
5 ForGod is one, and [the] mediator ofGod and men one, [the] man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony [to be rendered] in its own times;
7 to which I have been appointed a herald and apostle, (I speak [the] truth, I do not lie,) a teacher of [the] nations in faith and truth.
8 I will therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up pious hands, without wrath or reasoning.
9 In like manner also that the women in decent deportment and dress adorn themselves with modesty and discretion, not with plaited [hair] and gold, or pearls, or costly clothing,
10 but, what becomes women making profession of the fear ofGod, by good works.
