1 Timothy 2:3-9 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

3. This is good, and it pleases God our Savior.

4. God wants all people to be saved. And he wants everyone to know the truth.

5. There is only one God. And there is only one way that people can reach God. That way is through Jesus Christ, who is also a man.

6. Jesus gave himself to pay for the sins of all people. Jesus is proof that God wants all people to be saved. And that proof came at the right time.

7. That is why I was chosen to tell the Good News and was chosen to be an apostle. (I am telling the truth. I am not lying.) I was chosen to teach the non-Jewish people to believe and to know the truth.

8. I want men everywhere to pray. These men who lift up their hands in prayer must be holy. They must not be men who become angry and have arguments.

9. I also want women to wear clothes that are right for them. They should dress with respect and right thinking. They should not use fancy braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes to make themselves beautiful.
