MODERN LITERAL VERSION - 2026 Update

2:1       Therefore, first of all, I am encouraging that supplications, prayers, petitions, thanksgivings to be practiced on behalf of all men,

2:2 on behalf of kings and all who are in superiority, in-order-that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all devoutness and dignity.

2:3 For^* this is good and acceptable in God our Savior’s sight,

2:4 who wishes all men to be saved and to come to the full-knowledge of the truth.

2:5 For^* there is one God, and one intermediary of God and of men, the man, Christ Jesus,

2:6 who gave himself as a ransom on behalf of all (the testimony given in their own times),

2:7 to which I was appointed^* a preacher and an apostle (I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.      

2:8 Therefore, I will that the men are to pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and evil reasoning.      

2:9 Likewise^* also, the women to adorn themselves in a respectable array, with modesty and self-discipline, not in hair braids or gold or pearls or a costly garment,

2:10 but with what is suitable to women professing godliness through good works.      

2:11 Let a woman learn in quietness in all subjection.

2:12 Now I do not permit^* a woman to teach, nor to domineer a man, but to be in quietness.      

2:13 For^* Adam was first molded, thereafter Eve;

2:14 and Adam was not deceived. But the woman who was deceived, has become the one in transgression. {Gen 1:17, 2:7-22, 3:6,12}

2:15 But she will be saved through childbearing, if they remain in faith and love^* and holiness with self-discipline.
