CHAPTER 2
1 Therefore I beseech first of all things, that beseechings, prayers, askings, (and) doing of thankings, (or and thanksgiving, or the giving of thanks), be made for all men,
2 for kings and all that be set in highness, (so) that we (can) lead a quiet and a peaceable life, in all piety and chastity.
3 For this thing is good and accepted before God, our Saviour, (For this is something good and acceptable before God, our Saviour,)
4 that will that all men be made safe (or who desireth that all men be saved), and that they come to the knowing of (the) truth.
5 For one God and one mediator is of God and of men, a man Christ Jesus, (For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, the Messiah Jesus,)
6 that gave himself (as a) redemption for all men. Whose witnessing is confirmed in his times; (who gave himself for the redemption of all men. Whose testimony was confirmed in his time or at his time;)
7 in which I am set a preacher and an apostle. For I say (the) truth [in Christ Jesus], and I lie not, that am a teacher of heathen men in faith and in truth. (in whom I am put or am made a preacher and an apostle. For I tell the truth in the Messiah Jesus, and I do not lie, (I who am) a teacher of the Gentiles about faith and about truth, or (I who am) a teacher of the Gentiles in the true faith.)
8 Therefore I will (or And so I desire), that men pray in all place(s), lifting up clean hands without wrath and strife [or disputing].
9 Also women in suitable habit, with shamefastness and soberness arraying themselves, not in wreathed hairs, either in gold, or pearls, or precious cloth (or expensive clothing);
10 but that that becometh women, promising piety by good works.
11 A woman learn [she] in silence, with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, neither to have lordship on the husband [or on the man], but to be in silence. (But I do not allow a woman to teach, or to have lordship over a man, but rather, to be silent or to be quiet.)
13 For Adam was first formed, afterward Eve;
14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived, in (the) breaking of the law [or in prevarication].
15 But she shall be saved by (the) generation of children, if she dwell perfectly in faith, and love, and holiness, with soberness.
