1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings 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 Savior, 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 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.

1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made for all men;2 for kings and all that are in dignity, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and gravity;3 for this is good and acceptable before our Saviour God,4 who desires that all men should be saved and come to {the} knowledge of {the} truth.5 For God is one, and {the} mediator of God and men one, {the} man Christ Jesus,6 who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony {to be rendered} in its own times;7 to which *I* have been appointed a herald and apostle, (I speak {the} truth, I do not lie,) a teacher of {the} nations in faith and truth.8 I will therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up pious hands, without wrath or reasoning.9 In like manner also that the women in decent deportment and dress adorn themselves with modesty and discretion, not with plaited {hair} and gold, or pearls, or costly clothing,10 but, what becomes women making profession of the fear of God, by good works.11 Let a woman learn in quietness in all subjection;12 but I do not suffer a woman to teach nor to exercise authority over man, but to be in quietness;13 for Adam was formed first, then Eve:14 and Adam was not deceived; but the woman, having been deceived, was in transgression.15 But she shall be preserved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with discretion.
