• 1. I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men:
  • 2. for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
  • 3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
  • 4. who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.
  • 5. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
  • 6. who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;
  • 7. to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
  • 8. I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.
  • 9. In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;
  • 10. but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
  • 11. Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
  • 12. But I don't permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
  • 13. For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
  • 14. Adam wasn't deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
  • 15. but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.
