Chapter Text
2:1 I Exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giuing of thanks be made for all men,
2:2 For Kings, and for all that are in authoritie, that we may leade a quiet and a peaceable life, in all godlinesse and honestie.
2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Sauiour,
2:4 Who will that all men shalbe saued, and come vnto the acknowledging of the trueth.
2:5 For there is one God, and one Mediatour betweene God and man, which is the man Christ Iesus,
2:6 Who gaue himselfe a ransome for all men, to be that testimonie in due time,
2:7 Whereunto I am ordeined a preacher and an Apostle (I speake the trueth in Christ, and lie not) euen a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and veritie.
2:8 I will therefore that the men pray, euery where lifting vp pure hands without wrath, or douting.
2:9 Likewise also the women, that they aray themselues in comely apparell, with shamefastnes and modestie, not with broyded heare, or gold, or pearles, or costly apparell,
2:10 But (as becommeth women that professe the feare of God) with good workes.
2:11 Let the woman learne in silence with all subiection.
2:12 I permit not a woman to teache, neither to vsurpe authoritie ouer the man, but to be in silence.
2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eue.
2:14 And Adam was not deceiued, but the woman was deceiued, and was in the transgression.
2:15 Notwithstanding, through bearing of children she shalbe saued if they continue in faith, and loue, and holines with modestie.
