1 Timothy 2:4-11 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

4. who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

5. For there is one God and one mediator between God and human beings, the man Christ Jesus,

6. who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,

7. for which I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am speaking the truth, I am not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8. Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and dispute.

9. Likewise also the women should adorn themselves in appropriate clothing, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold jewelry or pearls or expensive clothing,

10. but with good deeds which are fitting for women who profess godliness.

11. A woman must learn in quietness with all submission.
