1 Timothy 2:1–15

• A 1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
• A 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
• A 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
  • B 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
    • C 5a For there is one God,
      • D 5b and one mediator between God and men,
    • C' 5c the man Christ Jesus;
  • B' 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
  • B' 7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
• A' 8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

1 Timothy 2:9-15

• A 9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
• A 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
  • B 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
    • C 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man,
  • B' 12b but to be in silence.
• A' 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
• A' 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
• A' 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
