1 Timothy 2:8-15 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

8. I want the men everywhere to pray. Men who lift their hands in prayer must be devoted to God and pleasing to him. They must be men who keep themselves from getting angry and having arguments.

9. And I want the women to make themselves attractive in the right way. Their clothes should be sensible and appropriate. They should not draw attention to themselves with fancy hairstyles or gold jewelry or pearls or expensive clothes.

10. But they should make themselves attractive by the good things they do. That is more appropriate for women who say they are devoted to God.

11. A woman should learn while listening quietly and being completely willing to obey.

12. I don’t allow a woman to teach a man or tell him what to do. She must listen quietly,

13. because Adam was made first. Eve was made later.

14. Also, Adam was not the one who was tricked. It was the woman who was tricked and became a sinner.

15. But women will be saved in their work of having children. They will be saved if they continue to live in faith, love, and holiness with sensible behavior.
