1 Timothy 2:5-14 Modern English Version (MEV)

5. There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

6. who gave Himself as a ransom for all. This was the testimony given at the proper time.

7. For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ and do not lie), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8. Therefore I desire that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or contentiousness.

9. In like manner also, that women clothe themselves in modest clothing, with decency and self-control, not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,

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

11. Let a woman learn in silence with all obedience.

12. I do not permit a woman to teach or to usurp authority over a man, but to be silent.

13. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

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