| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in 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 desires all men 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 one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6who gave Himself as a ransom for all, 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) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint. |
