I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,
2 In behalf of kings, and all them who are, in eminent station; in order that, an undisturbed, and quiet life, we may lead, in all godliness and gravity:
for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
3 This, is comely and acceptable before our Saviour God,

7 Unto which, I, have been appointed proclaimer and apostle—Truth I speak, I utter no falsehood—a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.
to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,
10 But, which becometh women promising godliness, through means of good works.

11 Let, a woman, in quietness, be learning in all submission;
Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.
12 But, teaching—unto a woman, I do not permit, nor yet to have authority over a man, —but to be in quietness;
But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
13 For, Adam, first was formed, then Eve,
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And, Adam, was not deceived, whereas, the woman, having been wholly deceived, hath come to be, in transgression;
Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;
15 She shall be saved, however, through means of the child-bearing, —if they abide in faith, and love, and holiness, with sobermindedness. Faithful, the saying.
but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.
