New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (nwt, en_US, 2013)
1 Timothy
The First to Timothy, 2
1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made concerning all sorts of men,
2 concerning kings and all those who are in high positions,*1 so that we may go on leading a calm and quiet life with complete godly devotion and seriousness.
|
3 This is fine and acceptable in the sight of our Savior, God,
4 whose will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus,
6 who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all*1—this is what is to be witnessed to in its own due time.
|
7 For the purpose of this witness I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—a teacher of nations in the matter of faith and truth.
8 So I desire that in every place the men carry on prayer, lifting up loyal hands, without anger and debates.
9 Likewise, the women should adorn themselves in appropriate*1 dress, with modesty and soundness of mind,*2 not with styles of hair braiding and gold or pearls or very expensive clothing,
|
10 but in the way that is proper for women professing devotion to God, namely, through good works.
11 Let a woman learn in silence*1 with full submissiveness.
|
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but she is to remain silent.*1
|
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 Also, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was thoroughly deceived and became a transgressor.
15 However, she will be kept safe through childbearing, provided she*1 continues in faith and love and holiness along with soundness of mind.*2
