I EXHORT therefore, first of all, that there be offered supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings for the whole race of mankind:
2 for kings and all that are in dignity, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and gravity;
for kings, and all that are in a state of eminence, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and seriousness.
3 for this is good and acceptable before our Saviour God,
For this is becoming, and acceptable before God our Saviour;
4 who desires that all men should be saved and come to [the] knowledge of [the] truth.
who wills all men to be saved, and come to the acknowledgment of truth.
5 For God is one, and [the] mediator of God and men one, [the] man Christ Jesus,
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony [to be rendered] in its own times;
who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony to be born in his appointed times;
7 to which I have been appointed a herald and apostle, (I speak [the] truth, I do not lie, ) a teacher of [the] nations in faith and truth.
of which I am ordained a preacher and apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, ) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 I will therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up pious hands, without wrath or reasoning.
I will then that men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath or doubting:
9 In like manner also that the women in decent deportment and dress adorn themselves with modesty and discretion, not with plaited [hair] and gold, or pearls, or costly clothing,
in like manner also that the women dress themselves in decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety; not with plaited tresses, or gold, or pearls, or very costly clothing,
10 but, what becomes women making profession of the fear of God, by good works.
but as becometh women professing godliness, with good works.
11 Let a woman learn in quietness in all subjection;
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection:
12 but I do not suffer a woman to teach nor to exercise authority over man, but to be in quietness;
for I permit not a woman to teach in public, or to assume authority over the man, but to abide in silence.
13 for Adam was formed first, then Eve:
For Adam was first formed, Eve afterwards.
14 and Adam was not deceived; but the woman, having been deceived, was in transgression.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, by transgression fell.
15 But she shall be preserved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with discretion.
But she shall be saved through childbearing, if they abide in faith, and love, and holiness with sobriety.
