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 to have all men 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 wrath and doubting.

⁹ In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly clothing; ¹⁰ but (which becomes women professing godliness) through 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 child-bearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.
