1 Timothy 2:8
Compare all
6 awho gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,  
7 afor which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth1 in Christ and not lying—ba teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.  

Men and Women in the Church

8 I desire therefore that the men pray aeverywhere, blifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;  
9 in like manner also, that the awomen adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and1 moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,  
10 abut, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.  
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.
12 And aI do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.  
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
15 Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

John Wesley's Notes
<< 1 Timothy 2:7   1 Timothy 2:9 >>


1 Timothy 2:8

I will - A word strongly expressing his apostolical authority. Therefore - This particle connects I Timothy 2:8 with I Timothy 2:1. That men pray in every place - Public and private. Wherever men are, there prayer should be. Lifting up holy hands - Pure from all known sin. Without wrath - In any kind, against any creature. And every temper or motion of our soul that is not according to love is wrath. And doubting - Which is contrary to faith. And wrath, or unholy actions, or want of faith in him we call upon, are the three grand hinderances of God's hearing our petitions. Christianity consists of faith and love, embracing truth and grace: therefore the sum of our wishes should be, to pray, and live, and die, without any wrath or doubt.
