| # Chapter 2
| I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made for all men;
| for kings and all that are in dignity, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and gravity;
| for this is good and acceptable before our Saviour God,
| who desires that all men should be saved and come to [the] knowledge of [the] truth.
| For God is one, and [the] mediator of God and men one, [the] man Christ Jesus,
| who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony [to be rendered] in its own times;
| 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.
| I will therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up pious hands, without wrath or reasoning.
| 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,
| but, what becomes women making profession of the fear of God, by good works.
| Let a woman learn in quietness in all subjection;
| but I do not suffer a woman to teach nor to exercise authority over man, but to be in quietness;
| for Adam was formed first, then Eve:
| and Adam was not deceived; but the woman, having been deceived, was in transgression.
| But she shall be preserved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with discretion.

1st Timothy 3
