Paul Says to Pray for Those Who are in Authority |
1st Timothy 2:1-15 Paul's 1st Epistle to Timothy [in Smaller Chunks] |
Therefore, 1st of all, I exhort, [a.k.a. urge,] you, that: supplications, [a.k.a. requests,] prayers; & intercessions, [a.k.a. appeals, are] made for all men. For: kings, & for all [who] are in authority, [so] that we may lead a quiet, & [peaceful] life, in all godliness & honesty. |
For this is good & acceptable in the sight of God our [Savior,] Who [desires to,] have all men to be saved & to come to the knowledge of the Truth. [John 14:6 Jesus [said] to him, I Am the Way, the Truth, & the Life. No man [comes] to the Father, [except] by Me.] |
For there is One God, & One Mediator between God & men, Christ Jesus, [Who was born as a] man. [Matthew 1:23-25 *[Watch,] a virgin shall be with child, & shall bring forth, [a.k.a. deliver,] a Son, & they shall call His Name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, God with us. Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the Angel of the Lord had bidden him, & took to him his wife. And [Joseph] [didn't know] her, [a.k.a. wasn't intimate with Mary, until] she had [delivered] her firstborn Son. And [Joseph] called His Name JESUS.] |
Who gave Himself [as] a Ransom for all, to be testified [about] in due time. ( I [don't] lie, & speak the Truth [about] Christ,) [to Whom,] I'm ordained, [a.k.a. appointed, as] a: preacher; an apostle; & a teacher [for] the Gentiles in [the] faith [about Jesus Christ,] & [Truth.] [Acts 9:15-18 But the Lord said to [Ananias,] Go [on] your way. For [Saul, a.k.a. Paul,] is a chosen vessel to Me, to bear, [a.k.a. carry,] My Name [in front of] the: Gentiles, kings, & the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel. For I will [show] him, [what] great things he must suffer for My Name's sake. And Ananias went [on] his way, & entered into the house, & putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, [Who] appeared to you [on] the [road] as you [came, has] sent me, [so] that you [might] receive your sight & be filled with the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit.] And immediately there fell from [Saul's] eyes, [like] it had been scales, & he received sight [right away,] & was baptized.] |
Therefore, I [want] that men pray everywhere, [while] lifting up holy hands, without: wrath, [a.k.a. anger,] & doubting. [James 1:6 But let him ask in fatih, [not] wavering. For he, [who wavers,] is like a wave of the sea, driven [by] the wind, & tossed [back & forth.] |
Also, in [a similar] manner, women, [should] adorn themselves in modest [garments,] with [humility,] & [solemnly,] not with [braided] hair, or: gold; pearls; or costly [clothing.] |
But ([wear] [what] [is] [becoming] [to] women, [who] [profess] [to be] [godly,]) [along] with good works, [a.k.a. deeds.] |
Let the women learn in silence, & with all subjection, [a.k.a. fully yielding control.] But I [don't allow] a woman to teach, nor to usurp, [a.k.a. take over,] [the] authority over the man, but to be [silent.] |
For Adam was 1st formed, then Eve. And Adam wasn't deceived, but the woman, being deceived, [committed what was:] transgression, [a.k.a. sinful.] [However women] shall be saved in child-bearing, if they continue [solemnly] in: faith; charity, [a.k.a. love;] & holiness. |
