1 Timothy 2
Reading 1 Timothy chapter 2 in the Young's Literal Translation, public-domain text from 1898.
Verses 1–10
1 I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:
2 for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,
3 for this is right and acceptable before God our Saviour,
4 who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;
5 for one is God, one also is mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who did give himself a ransom for all--the testimony in its own times--
7 in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle--truth I say in Christ, I do not lie--a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.
8 I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;
9 in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,
10 but--which becometh women professing godly piety--through good works.
