1 Timothy 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 And so I beg you, first of all, to make supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings for all men,	1 First of all, then, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone,
2 for kings, and for all who are in high places, so that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and chastity.	2 for kings and for all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,	3 This is good and pleasing to God our savior,
4 who wants all men to be saved and to arrive at an acknowledgment of the truth.	4 who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,	5 For there is one God. There is also one mediator between God and the human race, Christ Jesus, himself human,
6 who gave himself as a redemption for all, as a testimony in its proper time.	6 who gave himself as ransom for all. This was the testimony at the proper time.
7 Of this testimony, I have been appointed a preacher and an Apostle, (I speak the truth, I do not lie) as a teacher of the Gentiles, in faith and in truth.	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 Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension.	8 It is my wish, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument.
9 Similarly also, women should be dressed fittingly, adorning themselves with compunction and restraint, and not with plaited hair, nor gold, nor pearls, nor costly attire,	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 but in a manner proper for women who are professing piety by means of good works.	10 but rather, as befits women who profess reverence for God, with good deeds.
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.	11 A woman must receive instruction silently and under complete control.
12 For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to be in authority over a man, but to be in silence.	12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. She must be quiet.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.	13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not seduced, but the woman, having been seduced, was in transgression.	14 Further, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed.
15 Yet she will be saved by bearing children, if she has continued in faith and love, and in sanctification accompanied by self-restraint.	15 But she will be saved through motherhood, provided women persevere in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
