For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything.

1 Timothy 2:7 in context

The verses around it, from 1 Timothy 2.

3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.

7 For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything.

8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.

9 Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,

10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.

11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.
