1I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; 2for kings and all who are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity. 3This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; 4who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is [only] one God, and [only] one mediator between God and men, [the] man Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony [to be borne] in its own times; 7to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I don't lie), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing. 9In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment; 10but (which becomes women professing godliness) through good works. 11Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection. 12But I don't permit a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness. 13For Adam was first formed, then Eve; 14and Adam wasn't beguiled, but the woman being beguiled has fallen into transgression: 15but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they stay in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
