| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people-- |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3This is good, and pleases God our Savior, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be 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 the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. |
