New Century Version

1 Timothy 2:6-15 New Century Version (NCV)

6. He gave himself as a payment to free all people. He is proof that came at the right time.

7. That is why I was chosen to tell the Good News and to be an apostle. (I am telling the truth; I am not lying.) I was chosen to teach those who are not Jews to believe and to know the truth.

8. So, I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up their hands in a holy manner, without anger and arguments.

9. Also, women should wear proper clothes that show respect and self-control, not using braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes.

10. Instead, they should do good deeds, which is right for women who say they worship God.

11. Let a woman learn by listening quietly and being ready to cooperate in everything.

12. But I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to listen quietly,

13. because Adam was formed first and then Eve.

14. And Adam was not tricked, but the woman was tricked and became a sinner.

15. But she will be saved through having children if she continues in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
