The fyrst Epistle to Tymothe. The .ij. Chapter.
- I exhorte therfore that above all thynges prayers supplicacions intercessions and gevynge of thankes behad for all men:
- for kynges and for all that are in auctorite that we maye live a quyet and a peasable life in all godlines and honestie.
- For that is good and accepted in the sight of god oure savioure
- which will have all men saved and to come vnto the knowledge of ye trueth.
- For ther is one god and one (mediator) bitwene god and man which is ye man Christ Jesus
- which gave him silfe a raunsome for all men that it shuld be testified at his tyme
- wherevnto I am ordayned a preacher and an apostle: I tell the trueth in Christ and lye not beynge the teacher of the gentyls in fayth and veritie.
- I wyll therfore that the men praye every where liftynge vp pure hondes without wrath or dowtinge.
- Lykwyse also the wemen that they araye them selves in comlye aparell with shamfastnes and discrete behaveour not with broyded heare other golde or pearles or costly araye:
- but with suche as becometh wemen that professe the worshippynge of God thorow good workes.
- Let the woman learne in silence with all subieccion.
- I suffre not a woman to teache nether to have auctoricie over a man: but forto be in silence.
- For Adam was fyrst formed and then Eve.
- Also Adam was not deceaved but the woman was deceaved and was in transgression.
- Notwithstondynge thorow bearinge of chyldre they shalbe saved so they continue in fayth love and holynes with discrecion.
