Prayers for All and Conduct in Worship

1 Timothy 2:1-15

2
Chapter 2
1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all those who are in authority, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This is good and acceptable before our Savior God, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 the one having given himself a ransom for all, the testimony in its own appointed times; 7 for which I was appointed a herald and apostle—I speak the truth, I do not lie—a teacher of nations in faith and truth. 8 Therefore, I want the husbands to pray in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath and reasoning. 9 Likewise also women in orderly apparel, with shamefacedness and soundness of mind, to adorn themselves, not in braided hair and gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 but what is fitting for women professing godliness, through good works. 11 Let a woman learn in quietness, in all subjection. 12 But I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a husband, but to be in quietness. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, has become in transgression. 15 But she will be saved through childbearing, if they remain in faith and love and sanctification with soundness of mind.
