New Testament

1 Timothy 2:3-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

3. This is right and it pleases God our savior,

4. who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

5. There is one God and one mediator between God and humanity, the human Christ Jesus,

6. who gave himself as a payment to set all people free. This was a testimony that was given at the right time.

7. I was appointed to be a preacher and apostle of this testimony—I’m telling the truth and I’m not lying! I’m a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8. Therefore, I want men to pray everywhere by lifting up hands that are holy, without anger or argument.

9. In the same way, I want women to enhance their appearance with clothing that is modest and sensible, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, pearls, or expensive clothes.
