| First of all, then, I urge that entreaties {and} prayers, petitions {and} thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, | |
| for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. | |
| This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, | |
| who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. | |
| For there is one God, {and} one mediator also between God and men, {the} man Christ Jesus, | |
| who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony {given} at the proper time. | |
| For 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. | |
| Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension. | |
| Likewise, {I want} women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, | |
| but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. | |
| A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. | |
| But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. | |
| For it was Adam who was first created, {and} then Eve. | |
| And {it was} not Adam {who} was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. | |
| But {women} will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint. |
