New Testament

1 Timothy 2

1Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,

παρακαλω ουν πρωτον παντων ποιεισθαι δεησεις, προσευχας, εντευξεις, ευχαριστιας, υπερ παντων ανθρωπων,

2for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.

υπερ βασιλεων και παντων των εν υπεροχη οντων, ινα ηρεμον και ησυχιον βιον διαγωμεν εν παση ευσεβεια και σεμνοτητι.

3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

τουτο γαρ καλον και αποδεκτον ενωπιον του σωτηρος ημων θεου,

4who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

ος παντας ανθρωπους θελει σωθηναι και εις επιγνωσιν αληθειας ελθειν.

5For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

εις γαρ θεος, εις και μεσιτης θεου και ανθρωπων, ανθρωπος χριστος ιησους,

6who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,

ο δους εαυτον αντιλυτρον υπερ παντων, το μαρτυριον καιροις ιδιοις,

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

εις ο ετεθην εγω κηρυξ και αποστολος, — αληθειαν λεγω [εν χριστω], ου ψευδομαι, — διδασκαλος εθνων εν πιστει και αληθεια.

8I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;

βουλομαι ουν προσευχεσθαι τους ανδρας εν παντι τοπω, επαιροντας οσιους χειρας χωρις οργης και διαλογισμου.

9in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,

ωσαυτως και τας γυναικας εν καταστολη κοσμιω, μετα αιδους και σωφροσυνης κοσμειν εαυτας, μη εν πλεγμασιν η χρυσω η μαργαριταις η ιματισμω πολυτελει,

10but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.

αλλ ο πρεπει γυναιξιν επαγγελλομεναις θεοσεβειαν, δι εργων αγαθων.

11Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.

γυνη εν ησυχια μανθανετω εν παση υποταγη·

12And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.

γυναικι δε διδασκειν ουκ επιτρεπω, ουδε αυθεντειν ανδρος, αλλ ειναι εν ησυχια.

13For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

αδαμ γαρ πρωτος επλασθη, ειτα ευα·

14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.

και αδαμ ουκ ηπατηθη, η δε γυνη απατηθεισα εν παραβασει γεγονεν·

15Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

σωθησεται δε δια της τεκνογονιας, εαν μεινωσιν εν πιστει και αγαπη και αγιασμω μετα σωφροσυνης.
