1 Timothy 2 :: English Standard Version (ESV)

Pray for All People

1Ti 2:1First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,

1Ti 2:2for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

1Ti 2:3

1Ti 2:3This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

1Ti 2:4

1Ti 2:4who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

1Ti 2:5

1Ti 2:5For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man[fn] Christ Jesus,

1Ti 2:6

1Ti 2:6who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.

1Ti 2:7

1Ti 2:7For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

1Ti 2:8

1Ti 2:8I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;

1Ti 2:9

1Ti 2:9likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire,

1Ti 2:10

1Ti 2:10but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.

1Ti 2:11

1Ti 2:11Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness.

1Ti 2:12

1Ti 2:12I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.

1Ti 2:13

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

1Ti 2:14

1Ti 2:14and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

1Ti 2:15

1Ti 2:15Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
