1 Timothy 2:1

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

1 Timothy 2:3

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

1 Timothy 2:4

1 Timothy 2:5

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

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.

1 Timothy 2:8

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

1 Timothy 2:9

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;

1 Timothy 2:1

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

1 Timothy 2:11

Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

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