(KJV) 1 Timothy 21

<< 1 Timothy 1 1 Timothy 3 >>

A Call to Prayer

[1] I exhort2 therefore, that, first3 of all, supplications4, prayers, intercessions, [and5] giving of thanks, be made for all men6; [2] For kings7, and [for] all8 that are in authority9; that10 we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness11 and honesty. [3] For this12 [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God13 our Saviour; [4] Who will14 have all men to be saved, and15 to come unto the knowledge16 of the truth. [5] For [there is] one God17, and18 one mediator between God and men, the man19 Christ Jesus; [6] Who gave20 himself a ransom for all, to be testified21 in22 due time. [7] Whereunto I am23 ordained a preacher24, and an apostle, (I speak25 the truth in Christ, [and] lie not;) a teacher26 of the Gentiles in faith27 and verity28. [8] I will29 therefore that men pray30 every where, lifting31 up holy hands, without32 wrath and33 doubting.

Instructions to Women

[9] In like manner also, that34 women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness35 and sobriety; not36 with broided37 hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; [10] But (which becometh women38 professing godliness) with39 good works. [11] Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.40 [12] But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. [13] For Adam was first formed, then Eve.41 [14] And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.42 [15] Notwithstanding she43 shall be saved in childbearing44, if they continue in faith45 and charity and holiness with sobriety46.
