1750 Challoner Revision of the Douay-Rheims (DR)

1 Timothy 2

1 That it is meet to pray and give thanks for all men, and the reason why. 9 How women should be attired. 12 They are not permitted to teach. 15 They shall be saved, notwithstanding the testimonies of God's wrath, in childbirth, if they continue in faith.

 2:1 ¶ I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all men:

 2:2 For kings and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.

 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,

 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

 2:5 For there is one God: and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus:

 2:6 Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times.

 2:7 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle (I say the truth, I lie not), a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

 2:8 I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention.

 2:9 In like manner, women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire:

 2:10 But, as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works.

 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence.

 2:13 For Adam was first formed; then Eve.

 2:14 And Adam was not seduced; but the woman, being seduced, was in the transgression.

 2:15 Yet she shall be saved through child bearing; if she continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
