- Kapitel 2 -

I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men—

for kings, and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all piety and gravity,

for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Savior,

who wills all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;

for [there is] one God, also one mediator of God and of men—the man Christ Jesus,

who gave Himself [as] a ransom for all—the testimony in its own times—

in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle—truth I say in Christ, I do not lie—a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.

I intend, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, apart from anger and deliberation;

Instructions to Women

also the women in like manner, in orderly apparel, to adorn themselves with modesty and sobriety, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or clothing of great price,

but—which becomes women professing godly piety—through good works.

Let a woman learn in quietness in all subjection,

and I do not allow a woman to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,

for Adam was formed first, then Eve,

and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, came into transgression,

and she will be saved through the childbearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.

I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,

for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.

For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

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

to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

Instructions to Women

In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not

(a)

with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,

but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.

Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.

But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.

For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;

but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.

(a)2:9 The word for “not” is the negative particle “μη” which denies an expected idea, as opposed to the usual word for “not” (ου) which denies a fact. Thus “μη” in this context is denying an expected idea (that women can be properly dressed without good works).
