1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and giving 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 Saviour,

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 at the proper time,

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 [“μη” in this context is denying an expected idea (that women can be properly dressed without good works).] with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,

10 but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.

11 Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.

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 formed first, 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 holiness with sobriety.
