1Timothy 提摩太前书02
1 Timothy 2
1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone--
2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God and one mediator 1 between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself as a ransom 2 for all men--the testimony 3 given in its proper time.
7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald 4 and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.
8 I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.
9 I also want women to dress modestly, with decency 5 and propriety 6, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess 7 to worship God.
11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission 8.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
15 But women [1] will be saved [2] through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
