1 Timothy 2 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

1Ti 2:1

1Ti 2:1My desire is, first of all, that you will make requests and prayers and give praise for all men;

1Ti 2:2

1Ti 2:2For kings and all those in authority; so that we may have a calm and quiet life in all fear of God and serious behaviour.

1Ti 2:3

1Ti 2:3This is good and pleasing in the eyes of God our Saviour;

1Ti 2:4

1Ti 2:4Whose desire is that all men may have salvation and come to the knowledge of what is true.

1Ti 2:5

1Ti 2:5For there is one God and one peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

1Ti 2:6

1Ti 2:6Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;

1Ti 2:7

1Ti 2:7And of this I became a preacher and an Apostle (what I say is true, not false,) and a teacher of the Gentiles in the true faith.

1Ti 2:8

1Ti 2:8It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or argument.

Women Instructed

1Ti 2:9

1Ti 2:9And that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with twisted hair and gold or jewels or robes of great price;

1Ti 2:10

1Ti 2:10But clothed with good works, as is right for women who are living in the fear of God.

1Ti 2:11

1Ti 2:11Let a woman quietly take the place of a learner and be under authority.

1Ti 2:12

1Ti 2:12In my opinion it is right for a woman not to be a teacher, or to have rule over a man, but to be quiet.

1Ti 2:13

1Ti 2:13For Adam was first formed, then Eve;

1Ti 2:14

1Ti 2:14And Adam was not taken by deceit, but the woman, being tricked, became a wrongdoer.

1Ti 2:15

1Ti 2:15But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.
