# 1 Timothy 02 General Notes # #### Special concepts in this chapter #### ##### Peace ##### Paul encourages the Christians to live peaceful lives by exercising discipline and self-control. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/discipline]]) ##### Women in the church ##### Paul is probably instructing the women how to use their freedom in Christ in such a way that it does not upset the normal cultural standards for women. Because of the potential for controversy, extra care should be taken in translating these passages. #### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter #### ##### "Prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings" ##### There is some overlap in meaning to these terms. It is not necessary to view these as perfectly distinct categories. ## Links: ## * __[1 Timothy 02:01 Notes](./01.md)__ __[<<](../01/intro.md) | [>>](../03/intro.md)__
