Instructions
On Worship
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
BETWEEN
GOD AND MEN,
THE
MAN CHRIST JESUS,
6
WHO GAVE HIMSELF AS A RANSOM FOR ALL MEN--
THE
TESTIMONY GIVEN IN ITS PROPER TIME.
7
And for this Purpose I was Appointed a Herald
And
an apostle—
I
am telling the Truth, I am not Lying
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 and propriety,
Not
with braided hair or gold or pearl or expensive clothes,
BUT
WITH GOOD DEEDS, APPROPRIATE
FOR
WOMEN WHO PROFESS TO WORSHIP GOD.
11
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.
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 will be kept safe through childbirth,
If
they continue in Faith, Love and Holiness with Propriety.
(1
Timothy 2)
