1.Timotheus 2 | 聖經當代譯本修訂版

要為他人禱告

1 我勸你首先要為所有的人懇求、禱告、代求,為他們感謝上帝。 2 也要為所有的君王和掌權者禱告,使我們可以懷著虔誠、端正的心過和平安寧的生活。 3 這樣做很美好,是蒙我們的救主上帝悅納的。 4 因為祂願全人類都得救,明白真理。 5 上帝只有一位,在上帝和人類之間只有一位中保,就是降世為人的基督耶穌。 6 祂捨命作全人類的贖價,這在所定的時候已顯明出來。 7 為此,我被指派做傳道人和使徒,教導外族人認識信仰和真理。我說的是實話,並非謊言。

信徒的操守

8 我願男人舉起聖潔的手隨處禱告,不發怒,不爭辯*。 9 我願女人衣著樸素端莊,不靠髮型、珠寶金飾或名貴衣服來妝飾自己, 10 要有良好的行為,這樣才配稱為敬畏上帝的婦女。 11 婦女應當安安靜靜地學習,完全順服。 12 我不准女人教導或管轄男人,她們應當保持安靜。 13 因為先造的是亞當,後造的是夏娃, 14 受騙犯罪的不是亞當,是夏娃。 15 不過,女人如果持守信心和愛心,聖潔自律,就必在生育的事上得救。

Pray for All People

1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man* Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. 7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; 9 likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10 but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. 11 Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
