1I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3For this is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4who desires all people to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and humanity, the human Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. 7For which I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8I desire, then, that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands without anger and dispute. 9Likewise also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive clothing, 10but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness. 11Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission. 12I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, being thoroughly deceived, fell into transgression. 15Yet she will be saved through childbearing, if they remain in faith and love and holiness, with propriety.
