1 I exhort therefore first of all to make supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings in behalf of all men;
2 in behalf of kings, and of all of those in high station being; so that a tranquil and quiet life we may lead in all piety and seriousness.
3 This for good and acceptable in presence of the preserver of us God,
4 who all men wishes to be saved, and into in exact knowledge of truth to come.
5 One for God, one and mediator of God and of men, a man Anointed Jesus,
6 he having given himself a ransom in behalf of all; the testimony for seasons own,
7 for which was placed I a herald and an apostle, (truth I speak, not I speak falsely,) a teacher of nations in faith and in truth.
8 I direct therefore to pray the men in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath and disputing.
9 In the same way and the women in apparel becoming, with modesty and soundness of mind, to adorn themselves, not with wreaths, of gold, or pearls or garment expensive,
10 but, (which in becoming for women undertaking worship of God,) by means of works good.
11 A woman in quietness let learn with all submission.
12 A women but to teach not I permit, nor to assume authority over a man, but to be in silence.
13 Adam for first was formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam not was deceived; the but woman having been deceived, in transgression became;
15 she will be preserved but through the childbearing, if they abide in faith and love and holiness with sobriety of mind.
1 I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,
2 They should be made for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.
4 It is Gods desire that all men have salvation and come to the full preciseaccuratecorrect knowledge Greek: epignosis: recognition, discernment of the truth.
5 There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
6 He gave himself as a ransom for all. A witness was to be given at the right time.
7 Because of this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle. What I say is true, not false, and I am a teacher of the nations in the true faith.
8 I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument.
9 Likewise I want women to be adorned in modest clothing, with modesty and soundness of mind; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly clothes;
10 but that which becomes a woman professing godliness through good works.
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or have dominion over a man, but to remain quiet.
13 Adam was first formed and then Eve.
14 Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived fell into transgression.
15 She will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.
