INTRODUCTION:

(Deuteronomy 4:2 [KJV])
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

(Proverbs 30:5, 6 [KJV])
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

(Isaiah 28:10 [KJV])
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

(Isaiah 28:13 [KJV])
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

(2 Peter 1:20 [KJV])
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

All of the studies found here, whether book studies or topical studies, are done with research with mainly two things: The KING JAMES BIBLE and a plain old, 1828 Webster's Dictionary. Why? Outside of actually studying secular and Jewish history, archaeology, one needs nothing more. You do not need foreign, dead languages that no one speaks, nor lexicons, nor concordances, nor commentaries, because they differ not only with one another and with the KING JAMES BIBLE, they create division, confusion, debate, and unbelief, apostasy, and a falling away from God Himself. We do not need them. That Word of God written and preserved for us in our own language is supposed to be enough, like the Old Testament was for the Jews, and as the New Testament was for the early Christians in Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, German, etc.

There are studies within as tangents on words, subjects found within the two testaments, as to broaden the scope of the study, to learn more, deeper truths. This is not an intellectual site with PhDs, theologians, and no worldly wisdom.. Check everything out, everything. Not just here, but with everything you read and see and hear. Be Bereans:

(Acts 17:11 [KJV])
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

(1 Thessalonians 2:13 [KJV])
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Always research for yourself, use all of the context, and never privately interpret!

Start of study

1 Timothy Chapter 2: THAT ALL SAID, HERE IS WHAT TO DO

(1 Timothy 2:1-2 [AKJV/PCE])
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Supplications is asking for things needed or desired from God
Prayers, as in talking to God, expressing any problems, issues
Intercessions are praying on behalf of others
We give thanks for what God has done and the fact that, no matter the answer, God will answer
For all men, all levels of society, top down, bottom up
Peace with men, a quiet life, because we live in godliness and honesty

(1 Timothy 2:3-4 [AKJV/PCE])
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Jesus Christ our Saviour, God our Saviour

It is to be our witness to the world, because it is all that they see, and our first visible witness before we open our mouths is our behavior

Our life is to reflect Christ; it is to be godly, and will be seen the entire time people are with us, a life long witness, daily

(1 Timothy 2:5 [AKJV/PCE])
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

When we pray and witness and are a witness with our life, we get out of God's way and let Him save that person

This means that we understand and acknowledge that we save no one; God saves them

That said, we either get in or out of God's way and let Him work, as God does not need us, He uses us as we allow

(1 Timothy 2:6 [AKJV/PCE])
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, died for us by His own free will, voluntarily, not coerced

One day all will know that when they stand before Him on Judgment day. That is "in due time"

Another "in due time" is when we hear the Gospel

(1 Timothy 2:7 [AKJV/PCE])
Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

Whereunto here simply means that place he was called to, to what end, what purpose, the why to Paul's ministry

Faith must accompany truth in Christ, as faith in a lie is meaningless and helps no one

Lack of faith in the truth likewise helps no one either

Paul is acknowledging here that his calling was to be the apostle to the Gentiles, in fulfillment of the prophecy about the Gospel

This commission and commandment was given to all of the apostles, but most were martyred, some by the hand of Saul (who here is now Paul), before he got saved, so that job passed down

(Matthew 28:19 [KJV])
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

(Acts 1:8 [KJV])
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

VER'ITY, n. [L. veritas, from verus, true.]

Truth; consonance of a statement, proposition or other thing to fact. 1 Tim 2.
It is a proposition of eternal verity, that none can govern while he is despised.

A true assertion or tenet.
By this it seems to be a verity.

Moral truth; agreement of the words with the thoughts.

(1 Timothy 2:8 [AKJV/PCE])
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

Being declared righteous before God, in praise we are called to lift up our hands to God

In true faith, faithful truth, with love for God and mankind, and peace with God and mankind

Doubt is what got us kicked out of the garden when Even believed the serpent who cast doubt on what God told her

THE FIRST DOUBTING
(Genesis 3:1 [KJV])
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

(1 Timothy 2:9-10 [AKJV/PCE])
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

If women take care of the inward beauty, they need not worry about the outward
Ever notice that women, Christian women, who crop their hair above their ears and off of their neck, cutting off the glory God gave them, often have massive jewelry pieces hanging off (hoops, loops, chains of jewels, chains, etc.) of their ears? This is because they know SOMETHING is missing on the sides (their hair they just cut off) and try to fill it with something else
God wants them to do their part, not the man's part. It is a role, not anything to do with equality
One thing that tells someon observing about the inside is the appearance on the outside, "Look at ME!", "I have MONEY!", "I AM SO GORGEOUS!", which is all sinful pride.
Like the old sayings goes, "IF you are not open for business, don't advertise." This is not a prohibition on all nice clothing, all jewelry, all makeup; no, just an admonition to take care of the inside first, completely, and not worry about the outside so much
Doing the work of God is the most important thing to show godliness

(1 Timothy 2:11-12 [AKJV/PCE])
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

Welcome to America, where this is "old fashioned, patriarchal, to be ignored, brushed aside, because we are women, hear us roar!"
"That was then, this is now! That was first century, Paul was not talking about ALL women in ALL churches for ALL time!"
Now, the truth is that what it says has no context in history, in Scripture, treadition, culture or denomination which changes this, but especially in Scripture, the most important
If it rubs someone, chafing like forty grit sandpaper, then so be it. Ogd does not change, neither His Word and words, because of our desires, cultures, traditions, rebellions against Him

(Matthew 15:6 [KJV])
And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

(Mark 7:13 [KJV])
Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

(1 Timothy 2:13-14 [AKJV/PCE])
For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

This is the why of the equation here, because women believe things and never want to check into the other side today
Eve believed the serpent, did not go back to Adam and tell him that there was doubt being created by the serpent
She allowed herself to be deceived; Adam did not get deceived; he merely ate of the fruit along with her

(1 Timothy 2:15 [AKJV/PCE])
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

She will bring forth children, though in much pain, that she can raise godly, holy, continue the family, with serious love, charity
No child was ever born on earth who was not born into sin, except the God man, the LORD Jesus Christ
