| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1First of all, then, I urge you to offer to God petitions, prayers, intercessions, and expressions of thanks for all people, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2for kings, and for everyone who has authority, so that we might lead a quiet and peaceful life with all godliness and dignity. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4who wants all people to be saved and to come to know the truth fully. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5There is one God. There is also one mediator between God and human beings—a human, the Messiah Jesus. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6He gave himself as a ransom for everyone, the testimony at the proper time. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7For this reason I was appointed to be an announcer, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the gentiles. (I am telling you the truth. I am not lying.) |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Therefore, I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without being angry or argumentative. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Women, for their part, should display their beauty by dressing modestly and decently in appropriate clothes, not with elaborate hairstyles or by wearing gold, pearls, or expensive clothes, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10but through good actions. This is proper for women who claim to revere God. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Let a woman learn with a quiet spirit, and submissively. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Moreover, in the area of teaching, I am not allowing a woman to instigate conflict toward a man. Instead, she is to remain calm. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve, |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14and it was not Adam who was deceived. It was the woman who was deceived and became disobedient, |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15even though she will be saved through the birth of the Child, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, along with good judgment. |
