00:00 - Start
00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:27.310
The First Epistle of Paul to Timothy, Chapter 2.
00:00:27.310 --> 00:00:31.510
First, I want you to pray for all people.
00:00:31.510 --> 00:00:48.121
Ask God to help and bless them, give thanks for them, pray for kings, pray for everyone who is in authority, pray that we can live peaceful and quiet lives and pray that we will be godly and holy.
00:00:48.121 --> 00:00:52.067
This is good and it pleases God, our Savior.
00:00:52.067 --> 00:00:54.692
He wants all people to be saved.
00:00:54.692 --> 00:00:57.222
He wants them to come to know the truth.
00:00:57.222 --> 00:01:03.189
There is only one God and there is only one go-between for God and human beings.
00:01:03.189 --> 00:01:06.013
He is the man, Christ Jesus.
00:01:06.013 --> 00:01:09.986
He gave himself to pay for the sins of all people.
00:01:09.986 --> 00:01:13.941
We have been told this message at just the right time.
00:01:15.304 --> 00:01:19.712
I was appointed to be a messenger and an apostle to preach the good news.
00:01:19.712 --> 00:01:22.201
I am telling the truth.
00:01:22.201 --> 00:01:23.304
I'm not lying.
00:01:23.304 --> 00:01:28.453
God appointed me to be a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.
00:01:28.453 --> 00:01:32.650
So I want the men in every place to pray.
00:01:32.650 --> 00:01:35.209
I want them to lift up holy hands.
00:01:35.209 --> 00:01:38.049
I don't want them to be angry when they pray.
00:01:38.049 --> 00:01:39.826
I don't want them to argue.
00:01:40.579 --> 00:01:42.561
In the same way, I want the women to be careful how they dress.
00:01:42.561 --> 00:01:43.682
They should wear clothes that are right and proper.
00:01:43.682 --> 00:01:45.102
In the same way, I want the women to be careful how they dress.
00:01:45.102 --> 00:01:47.524
They should wear clothes that are right and proper.
00:01:47.524 --> 00:01:51.085
They shouldn't wear their hair in very fancy styles.
00:01:51.085 --> 00:01:53.707
They shouldn't wear gold or pearls.
00:01:53.707 --> 00:01:56.769
They shouldn't wear clothes that cost a lot of money.
00:01:56.769 --> 00:02:02.552
Instead, they should put on good works as if good works were their clothes.
00:02:02.552 --> 00:02:06.816
This is proper for women who claim to worship God.
00:02:06.816 --> 00:02:10.457
When a woman is learning, she should be quiet.
00:02:10.457 --> 00:02:14.800
She should follow her leaders in every way.
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:18.004
I do not let women teach or take authority over a man.
00:02:18.004 --> 00:02:19.766
They must be quiet.
00:02:19.766 --> 00:02:22.849
That's because Adam was made first.
00:02:22.849 --> 00:02:25.072
Then Eve was made.
00:02:25.072 --> 00:02:28.355
Adam was not the one who was tricked.
00:02:28.355 --> 00:02:34.473
The woman was tricked and became a sinner.
00:02:34.473 --> 00:02:36.098
Will women be saved by having children?
00:02:36.098 --> 00:02:42.526
Only if they keep on believing, loving and leading a holy life in a proper way.
Here are some great episodes to start with.
