1 Timothy 1:18-20, 2:8-15 (Epistle)
- 18
- This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
- 19
- having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck,
- 20
- of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.
- 8
- I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;
- 9
- in 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,
- 10
- but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.
- 11
- Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.
- 12
- And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
- 13
- For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
- 14
- And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
- 15
- Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
