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