1 Timothy 2

1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone—

1 Jeg formaner da først af alt til, at der holdes Bønner, Påkaldelser, Forbønner, Taksigelser for alle Mennesker,

2 for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.

2 for Konger og alle dem, som ere i Højhed, at vi må leve et roligt og stille Levned i al Gudsfrygt og Ærbarhed;

3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

3 dette er smukt og velbehageligt for Gud, vor Frelser,

4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

4 som vil, at alle Mennesker skulle frelses og komme til Sandheds Erkendelse.

5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

5 Thi der er én Gud, og også én Mellemmand imellem Gud og Mennesker, Mennesket Kristus Jesus,

6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.

6 som gav sig selv til en Genløsnings Betaling for alle, hvilket er Vidnesbyrdet i sin Tid,

7 For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything.

7 og for dette er jeg bleven sat til Prædiker og Apostel (jeg siger Sandhed, jeg lyver ikke), en Lærer for Hedninger i Tro og Sandhed.

8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.

8 Så vil jeg da, at Mændene på ethvert Sted, hvor de bede, skulle opløfte fromme Hænder uden Vrede og Trætte.

9 Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,

9 Ligeså, at Kvinder skulle pryde sig i sømmelig Klædning med Blufærdighed og Ærbarhed, ikke med Fletninger og Guld eller Perler eller kostbar Klædning,

10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.

10 men, som det sømmer sig Kvinder, der bekende sig til Gudsfrygt, med gode Gerninger.

11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.

11 En Kvinde bør i Stilhed lade sig belære, med al Lydighed;

12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.

12 men at være Lærer tilsteder jeg ikke en Kvinde, ikke heller at byde over Manden, men at være i Stilhed.

13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.

13 Thi Adam blev dannet først, derefter Eva;

14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.

14 og Adam blev ikke bedraget, men Kvinden blev bedraget og er falden i Overtrædelse.

15 Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

15 Men hun skal frelses igennem sin Barnefødsel, dersom de blive i Tro og Kærlighed og Hellighed med Ærbarhed.
