| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve; |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control. |
