Prima lettera a Timoteo - 1 Timothy 2

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Παρακαλω λοιπον πρωτον παντων να καμνητε δεησεις, προσευχας, παρακλησεις, ευχαριστιας υπερ παντων ανθρωπων,	1 First of all, then, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone,
2 υπερ βασιλεων και παντων των οντων εν αξιωμασι, δια να διαγωμεν βιον αταραχον και ησυχιον εν παση ευσεβεια και σεμνοτητι.	2 for kings and for all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity.
3 Διοτι τουτο ειναι καλον και ευπροσδεκτον ενωπιον του σωτηρος ημων Θεου,	3 This is good and pleasing to God our savior,
4 οστις θελει να σωθωσι παντες οι ανθρωποι και να ελθωσιν εις επιγνωσιν της αληθειας.	4 who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth.
5 Διοτι ειναι εις Θεος, εις και μεσιτης Θεου και ανθρωπων, ανθρωπος Ιησους Χριστος,	5 For there is one God. There is also one mediator between God and the human race, Christ Jesus, himself human,
6 οστις εδωκεν εαυτον αντιλυτρον υπερ παντων, μαρτυριαν γενομενην εν ωρισμενοις καιροις,	6 who gave himself as ransom for all. This was the testimony at the proper time.
7 εις το οποιον εταχθην εγω κηρυξ και αποστολος, αληθειαν λεγω εν Χριστω, δεν ψευδομαι, διδασκαλος των εθνων εις την πιστιν και εις την αληθειαν.	7 For this I was appointed preacher and apostle (I am speaking the truth, I am not lying), teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 Θελω λοιπον να προσευχωνται οι ανδρες εν παντι τοπω, υψονοντες καθαρας χειρας χωρις οργης και δισταγμου.	8 It is my wish, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument.
9 Ωσαυτως και αι γυναικες με στολην σεμνην, με αιδω και σωφροσυνην να στολιζωσιν εαυτας, ουχι με πλεγματα η χρυσον η μαργαριτας η ενδυμασιαν πολυτελη,	9 Similarly, (too,) women should adorn themselves with proper conduct, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hairstyles and gold ornaments, or pearls, or expensive clothes,
10 αλλα το οποιον πρεπει εις γυναικας επαγγελλομενας θεοσεβειαν, με εργα αγαθα.	10 but rather, as befits women who profess reverence for God, with good deeds.
11 Η γυνη ας μανθανη εν ησυχια μετα πασης υποταγης?	11 A woman must receive instruction silently and under complete control.
12 εις γυναικα ομως δεν συγχωρω να διδασκη, μηδε να αυθεντευη επι του ανδρος, αλλα να ησυχαζη.	12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. She must be quiet.
13 Διοτι ο Αδαμ πρωτος επλασθη, επειτα η Ευα?	13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 και ο Αδαμ δεν ηπατηθη, αλλ' η γυνη απατηθεισα εγεινε παραβατις?	14 Further, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed.
15 θελει ομως σωθη δια της τεκνογονιας, εαν μεινωσιν εις την πιστιν και αγαπην και αγιασμον μετα σωφροσυνης.	15 But she will be saved through motherhood, provided women persevere in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
