Na, ko taku whakahau tenei i te tuatahi o nga mea katoa, kia puta nga inoi, nga karakia, nga inoi wawao, nga whakawhetai, mo nga tangata katoa;

Mo nga kingi, mo te hunga whai mana katoa hoki: kia ata noho marie ai tatou i runga i nga whakaaro karakia, i nga tikanga mahara katoa.

He mea pai tenei, he mea e manakohia ana i te aroaro o te Atua, o to tatou Kaiwhakaora;

Ko tana nei e pai ai ko nga tangata katoa kia ora, kia haere mai hoki ki te matauranga ki te pono.

Kotahi tonu te Atua, kotahi te takawaenga o te Atua, o nga tangata, ko ia ano he tangata, ara ko Karaiti Ihu;

I hoatu nei i a ia hei utu mo te katoa; he mea kia whakaaturia i ona wa ake;

A meinga ana ahau hei karere, hei apotoro mo taua mea; he pono taku korero i roto i a te Karaiti, kahore aku teka; hei kaiwhakaako mo nga tauiwi i runga i te whakapono, i te pono.

Na, ko taku e pai ai, ko nga tane kia inoi i nga wahi katoa, kia tapu nga ringa ina ara, kaua he riri, he tautohetohe.

Ko nga wahine hoki kia mau i te kakahu ataahua, kia tu whakama, kia whai whakaaro; kauaka te makawe whiri, te koura, te peara, te kakahu utu nui;

10 Engari ko te mea e tau ana mo nga wahine e whakaae ana ki te karakia, ara ko nga mahi pai.

11 Me ako marie te wahine kia nui te ngohengohe.

12 E kore hoki e tukua e ahau te wahine kia whakaako, kia neke ake ranei tana tikanga i ta te tane, engari me ata noho.

13 Ko Arama hoki kua hanga i mua, muri iho ko Iwi.

14 A kihai a Arama i tinihangatia, ko te wahine ia i tinihangatia, a taka ana ki te he.

15 Otira ka ora ia i te whanautanga tamariki, ki te mau tonu to ratou whakapono, aroha, tapu, whakaaro.

Instructions on Worship

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers,(A) intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority,(B) that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness(C) and holiness. This is good, and pleases(D) God our Savior,(E) who wants(F) all people(G) to be saved(H) and to come to a knowledge of the truth.(I) For there is one God(J) and one mediator(K) between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,(L) who gave himself as a ransom(M) for all people. This has now been witnessed to(N) at the proper time.(O) And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying(P)—and a true and faithful teacher(Q) of the Gentiles.(R)

Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands(S) without anger or disputing. I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,(T) 10 but with good deeds,(U) appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

11 A woman[a] should learn in quietness and full submission.(V) 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet.(W) 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.(X) 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.(Y) 15 But women[c] will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love(Z) and holiness with propriety.

Footnotes

  3. 1 Timothy 2:15 Greek she

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

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

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

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

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.

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

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;

10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

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

15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
