2:1

Παρακαλω ουν πρωτον παντων ποιεισθαι δεησεις προσευχας εντευξεις ευχαριστιας υπερ παντων ανθρωπων

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

¹

2:2

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

for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.

2:3

τουτο καλον και αποδεκτον ενωπιον του Σωτηρος ημων Θεου

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

2:4

ος παντας ανθρωπους θελει σωθηναι και εις επιγνωσιν αληθειας ελθειν

who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.

2:5

Εις γαρ Θεος εις και μεσιτης Θεου και ανθρωπων ανθρωπος Χριστος Ιησους

For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus,

2:6

ο δους εαυτον αντιλυτρον υπερ παντων το μαρτυριον καιροις ιδιοις

who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times;

2:7

εις ο ετεθην εγω κηρυξ και αποστολος αληθειαν λεγω ου ψευδομαι διδασκαλος εθνων εν πιστει και αληθεια

whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

2:8

Βουλομαι ουν προσευχεσθαι τους ανδρας εν παντι τοπω επαιροντας οσιους χειρας χωρις οργης και διαλογισμου

I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.

2:9

Ωσαυτως και γυναικας εν καταστολη κοσμιω μετα αιδους και σωφροσυνης κοσμειν εαυτας μη εν πλεγμασιν και χρυσιω η μαργαριταις η ιματισμω πολυτελει

In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;

2:10

αλλ ο πρεπει γυναιξιν επαγγελλομεναις θεοσεβειαν δι εργων αγαθων

but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.

2:11

Γυνη εν ησυχια μανθανετω εν παση υποταγη

Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

2:12

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

But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.

2:13

Αδαμ γαρ πρωτος επλασθη ειτα Ευα

For Adam was first formed, then Eve;

2:14

και Αδαμ ουκ ηπατηθη η δε γυνη εξαπατηθεισα εν παραβασει γεγονεν

and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:

2:15

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

but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
