All right, well, good morning and welcome to our Bible study on Sunday morning. Second service,

first service is our prophecy update, and second service is the sermon as we go through the Bible,

book by book and chapter by chapter and verse by verse. On Thursday nights, we're in the Old Testament

Book of Ecclesiastes, and on Sunday mornings we are in First Timothy, and today, Lord willing, we're in the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes and on Sunday mornings we are in 1st

Timothy and today Lord willing we're going to finish chapter 2 we left off in verse 4 of chapter 2

last week so we'll pick it up in verse 15 and uh or verse 5 yeah we'll pick it up in verse 15 and then

just close in prayer actually Actually, after you hear

and follow along as I read, what's here? You're going to want to close in prayer. So,

why don't you stand? You can follow along as I read. Those of you online, just follow along,

beginning in verse 5. The Apostle Paul is writing, and by the Holy Spirit says, verse 5,

for there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witness to at the proper time.

And for this purpose, I was appointed a herald and an apostle. I am telling the truth. I am not lying. And a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.

Verse 8. Therefore, I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. Verse 9, I also want the women to dress

modestly with decency and propriety, adorning themselves not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls

or expensive clothes, but with good deeds appropriate for women who profess to worship God. A woman, verse 11, should learn in quietness and full submission.

I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man.

She must be quiet.

For Adam, verse 13, was formed first, then Eve.

And Adam was not the one deceived.

It was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

But women, verse 15, will be saved through childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness
