Prima lettera a Timoteo - 1 Timothy 2

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Παρακαλω λοιπον πρωτον παντων να καμνητε δεησεις, προσευχας, παρακλησεις, ευχαριστιας υπερ παντων ανθρωπων,	1 I urge then, first of al that petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving should be offered foreveryone,
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 others in authority, so that we may be able to live peaceful and quiet lives with al devotionand propriety.
3 Διοτι τουτο ειναι καλον και ευπροσδεκτον ενωπιον του σωτηρος ημων Θεου,	3 To do this is right, and acceptable to God our Saviour:
4 οστις θελει να σωθωσι παντες οι ανθρωποι και να ελθωσιν εις επιγνωσιν της αληθειας.	4 he wants everyone to be saved and reach full knowledge of the truth.
5 Διοτι ειναι εις Θεος, εις και μεσιτης Θεου και ανθρωπων, ανθρωπος Ιησους Χριστος,	5 For there is only one God, and there is only one mediator between God and humanity, himself a humanbeing, Christ Jesus,
6 οστις εδωκεν εαυτον αντιλυτρον υπερ παντων, μαρτυριαν γενομενην εν ωρισμενοις καιροις,	6 who offered himself as a ransom for al . This was the witness given at the appointed 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 of which I was appointed herald and apostle and -- I am telling the truth and no lie -- a teacher of thegentiles in faith and truth.
8 Θελω λοιπον να προσευχωνται οι ανδρες εν παντι τοπω, υψονοντες καθαρας χειρας χωρις οργης και δισταγμου.	8 In every place, then, I want the men to lift their hands up reverently in prayer, with no 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, women are to wear suitable clothes and to be dressed quietly and modestly, without braidedhair or gold and jewellery or expensive clothes;
10 αλλα το οποιον πρεπει εις γυναικας επαγγελλομενας θεοσεβειαν, με εργα αγαθα.	10 their adornment is to do the good works that are proper for women who claim to be religious.
11 Η γυνη ας μανθανη εν ησυχια μετα πασης υποταγης?	11 During instruction, a woman should be quiet and respectful.
12 εις γυναικα ομως δεν συγχωρω να διδασκη, μηδε να αυθεντευη επι του ανδρος, αλλα να ησυχαζη.	12 I give no permission for a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. A woman ought to be quiet,
13 Διοτι ο Αδαμ πρωτος επλασθη, επειτα η Ευα?	13 because Adam was formed first and Eve afterwards,
14 και ο Αδαμ δεν ηπατηθη, αλλ' η γυνη απατηθεισα εγεινε παραβατις?	14 and it was not Adam who was led astray but the woman who was led astray and fell into sin.
15 θελει ομως σωθη δια της τεκνογονιας, εαν μεινωσιν εις την πιστιν και αγαπην και αγιασμον μετα σωφροσυνης.	15 Nevertheless, she will be saved by child-bearing, provided she lives a sensible life and is constant infaith and love and holiness.
