¹ I exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made for all men:² For kings and all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.³ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,⁴ Who willeth all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.⁵ For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men,⁶ the man Christ Jesus, Who gave himself a ransom for all,⁷ to be testified of in due season, Whereunto I am ordained a preacher and an apostle, (I speak the truth, I lie not) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.⁸ I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting:

⁹ Likewise that women adorn themselves in decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety, not with curled hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly raiment,¹⁰ But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.¹¹ Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.¹² For I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.¹³ For Adam was first formed, then Eve.¹⁴ And Adam was not deceived; but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.¹⁵ Yet she shall be saved in child-bearing, if they continue in faith, and love, and holiness, with sobriety.
