1. First, I tell you to pray for all people, asking God for what they need and being thankful to him.
|
1. I exhort G3870 therefore G3767 , that, first G4412 of all G3956 , supplications G1162 , prayers G4335 , intercessions G1783 , and giving of thanks G2169 , be made G4160 for G5228 all G3956 men G444 ;
|
|
2. Pray for rulers and for all who have authority so that we can have quiet and peaceful lives full of worship and respect for God.
|
2. For G5228 kings G935 , and G2532 for all G3956 that are G5607 in G1722 authority G5247 ; that G2443 we may lead G1236 a quiet G2263 and G2532 peaceable G2272 life G979 in G1722 all G3956 godliness G2150 and G2532 honesty G4587 .
|
|
3. This is good, and it pleases God our Savior,
|
3. For G1063 this G5124 is good G2570 and G2532 acceptable G587 in the sight G1799 of God G2316 our G2257 Savior G4990 ;
|
|
4. who wants all people to be saved and to know the truth.
|
4. Who G3739 will G2309 have all G3956 men G444 to be saved G4982 , and G2532 to come G2064 unto G1519 the knowledge G1922 of the truth G225 .
|
|
5. There is one God and one way human beings can reach God. That way is through Christ Jesus, who is himself human.
|
5. For G1063 there is one G1520 God G2316 , and G2532 one G1520 mediator G3316 between God G2316 and G2532 men G444 , the man G444 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 ;
|
|
6. He gave himself as a payment to free all people. He is proof that came at the right time.
|
6. Who gave G1325 himself G1438 a ransom G487 for G5228 all G3956 , to be testified G3142 in due G2398 time G2540 .
|
|
7. That is why I was chosen to tell the Good News and to be an apostle. (I am telling the truth; I am not lying.) I was chosen to teach those who are not Jews to believe and to know the truth.
|
7. Whereunto G1519 G3739 I G1473 am ordained G5087 a preacher G2783 , and G2532 an apostle G652 , (I speak G3004 the truth G225 in G1722 Christ G5547 , and lie G5574 not G3756 ;) a teacher G1320 of the Gentiles G1484 in G1722 faith G4102 and G2532 verity G225 .
|
|
8. So, I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up their hands in a holy manner, without anger and arguments.
|
8. I will G1014 therefore G3767 that men G435 pray G4336 every G3956 where G5117 , lifting up G1869 holy G3741 hands G5495 , without G5565 wrath G3709 and G2532 doubting G1261 .
|
|
9. Also, women should wear proper clothes that show respect and self-control, not using braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes.
|
9. In like manner G5615 also G2532 , that women G1135 adorn G2885 themselves G1438 in G1722 modest G2887 apparel G2689 , with G3326 shamefacedness G127 and G2532 sobriety G4997 ; not G3361 with G1722 braided hair G4117 , or G2228 gold G5557 , or G2228 pearls G3135 , or G2228 costly G4185 array G2441 .
|
|
10. Instead, they should do good deeds, which is right for women who say they worship God.
|
10. But G235 ( which G3739 becometh G4241 women G1135 professing G1861 godliness G2317 ) with G1223 good G18 works G2041 .
|
|
11. Let a woman learn by listening quietly and being ready to cooperate in everything.
|
11. Let the woman G1135 learn G3129 in G1722 silence G2271 with G1722 all G3956 subjection G5292 .
|
|
12. But I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to listen quietly,
|
12. But G1161 I suffer G2010 not G3756 a woman G1135 to teach G1321 , nor G3761 to usurp authority over G831 the man G435 , but G235 to be G1511 in G1722 silence G2271 .
|
|
13. because Adam was formed first and then Eve.
|
13. For G1063 Adam G76 was first G4413 formed G4111 , then G1534 Eve G2096 .
|
|
14. And Adam was not tricked, but the woman was tricked and became a sinner.
|
14. And G2532 Adam G76 was not G3756 deceived G538 , but G1161 the G3588 woman G1135 being deceived G538 was G1096 in G1722 the transgression G3847 .
|
|
15. But she will be saved through having children if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
|
15. Notwithstanding G1161 she shall be saved G4982 in G1223 childbearing G5042 , if G1437 they continue G3306 in G1722 faith G4102 and G2532 charity G26 and G2532 holiness G38 with G3326 sobriety G4997 .
