1 I am urging, therefore, first of all, that requests, prayers, appeals, and thanks be offered on behalf of all people, 2 on behalf of kings and all others in authority,+ that we may lead, with full devotion+ and honorable conduct,+ a peaceful and quiet life. 3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who wants all mankind+ to be saved and to come to this:+ A knowledge of the truth. 5 There is one God, you see, and there is one intermediary between God and mankind—Messiah Jesus, himself a human being,+ 6 who gave himself as a slavery-ending payment for all mankind, the testimony given+ at God’s own appointed time.+ 7 That is why+ I was appointed a messenger and apostle (it is+ the truth that I am speaking; I am not lying), to instruct the Gentiles in the message of faith and truth.+
8 In light of these things, I earnestly bid+ the men at any gathering to lift up holy+ hands+ as they pray,+ without anger and quarreling. 9 And my earnest bidding to the women:+ It is+ with modesty and good judgment+ that they are to adorn themselves, with proper conduct,+ not with elaborate hairstyles and gold or pearls or expensive clothing, 10 but with that which is appropriate for women who claim to be devoted to God: Good deeds. 11 A woman+ is to receive instruction quietly,+ with full submission. 12 I don’t allow a woman to teach, moreover,+ or to exercise authority over, a man;+ she is to remain quiet. 13 It was+ Adam, you see, who was formed first,+ then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived. The woman, however, having been thoroughly deceived, willfully violated+ God’s express command.+ 15 Yet she will be saved despite the pain of childbearing++—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with good judgment.+
+1:2γνησίῳ ( gnēsiō) is in an embedded focal position (see BART Display), and has therefore been italicized for extra focus and emphasis.+1:3Cf NRSV. An infinitive is used in the Greek text here (lit just as I urged you to remain in Ephesus when I was leaving for Macedonia). The construction doesn’t transfer naturally into the receptor language here (English), and most translations compensate in various ways (cf, eg, ESV, NRSV, ISV, TEV).+1:3Unless otherwise noted (through superscript—ᵖyou—or some other means), all second person pronouns are in the second person singular.+1:3The context indicates that the “different doctrines” are already being taught. Cf CJB, ISV, NCV, NLT, TEV; UBSHS (1 Ti), 14.+1:3According to BDAG, ἑτεροδιδασκαλέω ( heterodidaskaleō) means “to teach contrary to standard instruction” ( BDAG, 398, sv). Cf also BSL, 1 Ti 1:3, sv; UBSHS (1 Ti), 14 (where the standard teaching is referred to as “accepted teachings”).+1:4ἐκζητήσεις ( ekzētēseis) is in P2 (see BART Display and LDGNT), and therefore a downtoner (based on context and lexeme; see, eg, L-N, 33.442) has been used to give this element extra focus and stress.+1:4Or idle disputes, or controversies.+1:4Lit the stewardship/management/administration of God. ME (see translation and notes at Eph 1:10; NET Bible Notes, 1 Ti 1:4; UBSHS [1 Ti], 16). Cf HCSB, NET, TEV.+1:5καθαρᾶς ( katharas) is in an embedded focal position (see BART Display), and has thus been italicized for extra focus and emphasis.+1:6The participle has been interpreted as an adverbial participle of means. This is reflected in the translation. Cf ESV, RSV.+1:8καλὸς ( kalos) is in P2 (see BART Display and LDGNT), and has therefore been italicized for extra focus and emphasis.+1:8νομίμως ( nomimōs) is in P2 (see BART Display and LDGNT), and therefore italics have been used to give extra focus and emphasis to this element within the ME (see following note).+1:8Lit uses it lawfully. ME (see UBSHS [1 Ti], 21; cf TEV).+1:9The participle here is singular/nominative/masculine, and thus refers to τις ( tis) in the conditional clause. Cf ISV.+1:9δικαίῳ ( dikaiō) is in P2 (see BART Display), and therefore a cleft-construction has been used to give this element extra focus and stress.+1:9Or profane.+1:10ἀντίκειται ( antikeitai) is in a DFE position (see BART Display and LDGNT), and therefore italics have been used to give this element extra focus and emphasis.+1:10ὑγιαινούσῃ ( hugiainousē) is in an embedded focal position (see BART Display), and therefore the phrase has been rendered so as to give extra focus to this element.+1:12Or faithful. πιστόν ( piston) is in P2 (see BART Display and LDGNT), and has thus been italicized for extra focus and emphasis.+1:13Cf Rm 10:1-4.+1:14Cf Rm 5:20.+1:14Cf NASB.+1:15Or faithful. πιστὸς καὶ πάσης ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος ( pistos kai pasēs apodochēs axios) is in a split focal position (see BART Display and LDGNT), with πάσης ἀποδοχῆς in an embedded focal position (see BART Display). Inversion and an adverb have thus been used to give this element extra focus and emphasis.+1:15ἁμαρτωλοὺς ( hamartōlous) is in P2 (see BART Display), and therefore italics have been used to give this element extra focus and emphasis.+1:15πρῶτός ( prōtos) is in P2 (see BART Display and LDGNT), and therefore an adverb has been used to give extra focus to this element.+1:16ἅπασαν ( hapasan) is in an embedded focal position (see BART Display), and therefore an adverb has been used to give extra focus to this element.+1:16This is a more literal rendering of ζωὴν αἰώνιον ( zōēn aiōnion), which most English translations render as “eternal life.” See UBSHS (Jn), 88.+1:18προαγούσας ἐπὶ σὲ ( proagousas epi se) is in an embedded focal position (see BART Display), and therefore τέκνον Τιμόθεε ( teknon Timothee) has been used as a spacer to give extra focus to this element.+1:18Lit by them. ME. Cf TEV.+1:18Cf ISV.+1:19The participle has been interpreted as an adverbial participle of means. This is reflected in the translation. Cf ESV, NRSV, RSV.+1:19ἐναυάγησαν ( enauagēsan) is in a DFE position (see BART Display and LDGNT), and therefore inversion has been used to give extra focus to this element.+1:20παιδεύω ( paideuō) in this context is referring to training through divine discipline (see BDAG, 749, sv 2.b.α.).+1:20Cf 1 Co 5:5.+2:2ἐν ὑπεροχῇ ( en huperochē) is in an embedded focal position (see BART Display), and therefore italics have been used to give this element extra focus and emphasis.+2:2Or godliness.+2:2ἤρεμον καὶ ἡσύχιον βίον ( ēremon kai ‘ēsucion bion) is in P2 (see BART Display and LDGNT), and therefore ἐν πάσῃ εὐσεβείᾳ καὶ σεμνότητι ( en pasē eusebeia kai semnotēti) has been used as a spacer to give extra focus to this element, which has been placed in clause-final for primary focus and stress.+2:4πάντας ἀνθρώπους ( pantas anthrōpous) is in P2 (see BART Display and LDGNT), and has thus been italicized for extra focus and emphasis.+2:4εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας ( eis epignōsin alētheias) is in P2 (see BART Display and LDGNT), and therefore a demonstrative pronoun and colon have been used to give extra focus to this element.+2:5Lit a man, Messiah Jesus. ME. Cf CJB, HCSB, NCV, NET, NRSV.+2:6IT. Cf ESV, NIV.+2:6Or in its own appointed time. Cf Ac 1:7; Eph 1:10, 2:12; Ga 4:4-7.+2:7Cf CJB, NCV, TEV.+2:7ἀλήθειαν ( alētheian) is in P2 (see BART Display and LDGNT), and therefore a cleft-construction has been used to give extra focus to this constituent.+2:7Or to teach the Gentiles in a trustworthy and true manner. Lit a teacher of the Gentiles in faith/trustworthiness and truth. ME. Cf TEV. “In faith and truth” here can be understood as the content of a message (cf NLT; NIV, TEV), or as the manner in which the message is proclaimed (see UBSHS [1 Ti], 53).+2:8Following the suggestion of the UBSHS in translation (see UBSHS [1 Ti], 54), since Paul is actually expressing a polite command here.+2:8ὁσίους ( hosious) is in an embedded focal position (see BART Display), and has therefore been italicized for extra focus and emphasis.+2:8Cf Ps 24:4.+2:8Lit I wish the men to pray in every place lifting up holy hands. ME (see UBSHS [1 Ti], 54). Cf CJB, NIV.+2:9Lit likewise women.+2:9μετὰ αἰδοῦς καὶ σωφροσύνης ( meta aidous kai sōphrosunēs) is in P2 (see BART Display and LDGNT), and therefore a cleft-construction has been used to give this element extra focus.+2:9Or with modesty and self-control.+2:9Or with appropriate clothing. According to ANLEX, καταστολή ( katastolē) here “may denote an adjustment in behavior or dress” (see ANLEX, 222, sv).+2:11Or a wife.+2:11Or without creating disruption, or respectfully. While ἡσυχία ( ēsuchia) can mean silence, it can also refer to disturbing the peace (see translation and notes at 1 Th 4:1-2; 2 Th 3:12; cf also 1 Pt 3:4). 1 Co 14:35, however, seems to favor the interpretation included in the text. Cf NAC (1 Ti), 98; UBSHS (1 Ti), 58. ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ ( en hēsuchia) is in P2 (see BART Display and LDGNT), and has therefore been italicized for extra focus and emphasis.+2:12διδάσκειν οὐδὲ αὐθεντεῖν ἀνδρός ( didaskein oude authentein andros) is in a split focal position (see BART Display), and therefore δὲ ( de) has been used as a spacer to give extra focus to this element. Commas have also been used to the same end.+2:12Or over her husband.+2:13Ἀδὰμ ( Adam) is in P2 (see BART Display), and therefore a cleft-construction has been used to give extra focus to this element (cf NASB). γὰρ ( gar) has also been used as a spacer to the same end.+2:13πρῶτος ( prōtos) is in P2 (see BART Display and LDGNT), and has therefore been italicized for extra focus and emphasis.+2:14ἐν παραβάσει ( en parabasei) is in P2 (see BART Display and LDGNT), and therefore italics have been used to give extra focus and emphasis to this element within the ME (see following note).+2:14Lit has come to be in violation/deviation/transgression (of an express command). ME (see BDAG, 707, sv ὁμοίωμα 1; Ibid, 758, sv παραβαίνω 2.b.; UBSHS [1 Ti], 60).+2:15Or through faithfulness to her proper role, such as in bearing children. Lit through childbearing. ME (see NET Bible Notes, 1 Ti 2:15). This verse is very difficult to interpret (for a good summary of interpretive options, see NET Bible Notes, 1 Ti 2:15). It is possible that διά ( dia) here is signaling a concessive attendant circumstance (see BDAG, 224, sv 3.c.; NET Bible Notes, 1 Ti 2:15, interpretation 4). If this is the case (which seems to me to be likely), then the article may be pointing us back to Gn 3:16. This is the interpretation reflected in the translation. In this case, the “salvation” being referred to is the redemption of the body (see Rm 8:23).+2:15Cf Rm 8:23.+2:15Or with self-control.
