1 Timothy 2 — FBV
2Verse 1First of all, I want to encourage you to pray for everybody: make requests of God, ask on their behalf, and give thanks.Verse 2Pray like this for kings and all types of leaders so that we may live quiet and peaceful lives, always thinking about God and taking life seriously.Verse 3This is what is good, and what pleases God our Savior.Verse 4He wants everyone to be saved, and come to understand what truth really is.Verse 5For there is one God, and one mediator of God and mankind—the man Christ Jesus.Verse 6He gave himself so we could all be won back, demonstrating the evidence at the right time.Verse 7I was appointed to share this message and be its messenger,+a teacher to the foreigners+about trusting God and the truth (I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth!)Verse 8What I really want is for men everywhere to pray sincerely to God.+No anger or arguments!Verse 9In the same way, women should dress sensibly, modestly, and appropriately. They should be attractive not in their hairstyle or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes,Verse 10but by the good things they do—as is appropriate for women who claim to follow God.Verse 11Women should learn quietly, respecting their place.Verse 12I don't allow women to be instructors, or to dominate men; let them remain quiet.+Verse 13For Adam was made first, and then Eve.Verse 14Adam wasn't deceived, but Eve was completely deceived, and she fell into sin.Verse 15However, women will be saved through becoming mothers,+as long as they continue to trust and love, and to live holy, sensible lives.
