21 Timothy 2

Church Worship

1First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, requests, and thanksgivings be offered to God for all people;Select 1 Timothy 2:1

2for kings and all others who are in authority, that we may live a quiet and peaceful life with all reverence toward God and with proper conduct.Select 1 Timothy 2:2

3This is good and it pleases God our Savior,Select 1 Timothy 2:3

4who wants everyone to be saved and to come to know the truth.Select 1 Timothy 2:4

5For there is one God, and there is one who brings God and human beings together, the man Christ Jesus,Select 1 Timothy 2:5

6who gave himself to redeem the whole human race. That was the proof at the right time that God wants everyone to be saved,Select 1 Timothy 2:6

7and that is why I was sent as an apostle and teacher of the Gentiles, to proclaim the message of faith and truth. I am not lying; I am telling the truth!Select 1 Timothy 2:7

8In every church service I want the men to pray, men who are dedicated to God and can lift up their hands in prayer without anger or argument.Select 1 Timothy 2:8

9I also want the women to be modest and sensible about their clothes and to dress properly; not with fancy hair styles or with gold ornaments or pearls or expensive dresses,Select 1 Timothy 2:9

10but with good deeds, as is proper for women who claim to be religious.Select 1 Timothy 2:10

11Women should learn in silence and all humility.Select 1 Timothy 2:11

12I do not allow them to teach or to have authority over men; they must keep quiet.Select 1 Timothy 2:12

13For Adam was created first, and then Eve.Select 1 Timothy 2:13

14And it was not Adam who was deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and broke God's law.Select 1 Timothy 2:14

15But a woman will be saved through having children, if she perseveres in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.Select 1 Timothy 2:15
