新约 -- 提摩太前书(1 Timothy) -- 第 2 章 ( 本篇共有 6 章 ) 7上一章 下一章8 目录
2:1我劝你第一要为万人恳求祷告,代求,祝谢。
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2:2为君王和一切在位的也该如此。使我们可以敬虔端正,平安无事的度日。
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
2:3这是好的,在神我们救主面前可蒙悦讷。
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
2:4他愿意万人得救,明白真道。
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
2:5因为只有一位神,在神和人中间,只有一位中保,乃是降世为人的基督耶稣。
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
2:6他舍自己作万人的赎价。到了时候,这事必证明出来。
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
2:7我为此奉派,作传道的,作使徒,作外邦人的师傅,教导他们相信,学习涉道。我说的是真话,并不是谎言。
Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
2:8我愿男人无忿怒,无争论,(争论或作疑惑),举起圣洁的手,随处祷告。
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
2:9又愿女人廉耻,自守,以正派衣裳为妆饰,不以编发,黄金,珍珠,和贵价的衣裳为妆饰。
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
2:10只要有善行。这才与自称是敬神的女人相宜。
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
2:11女人要沉静学道,一味的顺服。
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
2:12我不许女人讲道,也不许他辖管男人,只要沉静。
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
2:13因为先造的是亚当,后造的是夏娃。
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
2:14且不是亚当被引诱,乃是女人被引诱,陷在罪里。
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
2:15然而女人若常存信心爱心,又圣洁自守,就必在生产上得救。
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
