1Tim.2.1

The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

1Tim.2.1

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone--

1Tim.2.1

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,

1Tim.2.1

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for God's mercy upon them, and give thanks.

1Tim.2.2

Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation.

1Tim.2.2

for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

1Tim.2.2

for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.

1Tim.2.2

Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority, so that we can live in peace and quietness, in godliness and dignity.

1Tim.2.3

This is the way our Savior God wants us to live.

1Tim.2.3

This is good, and pleases God our Savior,

1Tim.2.3

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

1Tim.2.3

This is good and pleases God our Savior,

1Tim.2.4

He wants not only us but everyone saved, you know, everyone to get to know the truth we've learned:

1Tim.2.4

who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

1Tim.2.4

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

1Tim.2.4

for he wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.

1Tim.2.5

that there's one God and only one, and one Priest-Mediator between God and us--Jesus,

1Tim.2.5

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

1Tim.2.5

For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

1Tim.2.5

For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus.

1Tim.2.6

who offered himself in exchange for everyone held captive by sin, to set them all free. Eventually the news is going to get out.

1Tim.2.6

who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time.

1Tim.2.6

who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,

1Tim.2.6

He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that God gave to the world at the proper time.

1Tim.2.7

This and this only has been my appointed work: getting this news to those who have never heard of God, and explaining how it works by simple faith and plain truth.

1Tim.2.7

And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.

1Tim.2.7

for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle--I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying--a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

1Tim.2.7

And I have been chosen--this is the absolute truth--as a preacher and apostle to teach the Gentiles about faith and truth.

1Tim.2.8

Since prayer is at the bottom of all this, what I want mostly is for men to pray--not shaking angry fists at enemies but raising holy hands to God.

1Tim.2.8

I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.

1Tim.2.8

I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;

1Tim.2.8

So wherever you assemble, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy.

1Tim.2.9

And I want women to get in there with the men in humility before God, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions

1Tim.2.9

I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,

1Tim.2.9

in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,

1Tim.2.9

And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.

1Tim.2.10

but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it.

1Tim.2.10

but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

1Tim.2.10

but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.

1Tim.2.10

For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.

1Tim.2.11

I don't let women take over and tell the men what to do.

1Tim.2.11

A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.

1Tim.2.11

Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.

1Tim.2.11

Women should listen and learn quietly and submissively.

1Tim.2.12

They should study to be quiet and obedient along with everyone else.

1Tim.2.12

I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.

1Tim.2.12

And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.

1Tim.2.12

1Tim.2.13

Adam was made first, then Eve;

1Tim.2.13

For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

1Tim.2.13

For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

1Tim.2.13

For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve.

1Tim.2.14

woman was deceived first--our pioneer in sin!-with Adam right on her heels.

1Tim.2.14

And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

1Tim.2.14

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.

1Tim.2.14

And it was the woman, not Adam, who was deceived by Satan, and sin was the result.

1Tim.2.15

On the other hand, her childbearing brought about salvation, reversing Eve. But this salvation only comes to those who continue in faith, love, and holiness, gathering it all into maturity. You can depend on this.

1Tim.2.15

But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

1Tim.2.15

Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

1Tim.2.15

But women will be saved through childbearing and by continuing to live in faith, love, holiness, and modesty.
