I Timothy 2, RSV

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

2:2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way.

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

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

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

2:6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony to which was borne at the proper time.

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

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

2:9 also that women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly attire

2:10 but by good deeds, as befits women who profess religion.

2:11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness.

2:12 I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.

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

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

2:15 Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.
