1 mama prathama AdEzO'yaM, prArthanAvinayanivEdanadhanyavAdAH karttavyAH,
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men
2 sarvvESAM mAnavAnAM kRtE vizESatO vayaM yat zAntatvEna nirvvirOdhatvEna cEzcarabhaktiM vinItatvanjcAcarantaH kAlaM yApayAmastadarthaM nRpatInAm uccapadasthAnAnjca kRtE tE karttavyAH|
—on behalf of kings and all who are in authority, that we may live a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
3 yatO'smAkaM tArakasyEzvarasya sAkSAt tadEvOttamaM grAhyanjca bhavati,
Because this is good and pleasing to our Savior God,
4 sa sarvvESAM mAnavAnAM paritrANaM satyajnjAnaprAptinjcEcchati|
who desires all men to be saved and to come into a real knowledge of Truth.
5 yata EkO'dvitIya IzvarO vidyatE kinjcEzvarE mAnavESu caikO 'dvitIyO madhyasthaH
For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men—a man!—Jesus Christ,
6 sa narAvatAraH khrISTO yIzu rvidyatE yaH sarvvESAM muktE rmUlyam AtmadAnaM kRtavAn| EtEna yEna pramANEnOpayuktE samayE prakAzitavyaM,
who gave Himself as a ransom on behalf of all people (to be testified in its own seasons),
7 tadghOSayitA dUtO vizvAsE satyadharmmE ca bhinnajAtIyAnAm upadEzakazcAhaM nyayUjyE, EtadahaM khrISTasya nAmnA yathAtathyaM vadAmi nAnRtaM kathayAmi|
to which ransom I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying—a teacher of nations in faith and truth.
8 atO mamAbhimatamidaM puruSaiH krOdhasandEhau vinA pavitrakarAn uttOlya sarvvasmin sthAnE prArthanA kriyatAM|
So I desire that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.

Similarly the women also, dressing themselves in appropriate clothing, with modesty and good sense; not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
10 svIkRtEzvarabhaktInAM yOSitAM yOgyaiH satyarmmabhiH svabhUSaNaM kurvvatAM|
but with good works, which is appropriate to women who profess godliness.
11 nArI sampUrNavinItatvEna nirvirOdhaM zikSatAM|
Let a woman learn in silence, in full subordination.
12 nAryyAH zikSAdAnaM puruSAyAjnjAdAnaM vAhaM nAnujAnAmi tayA nirvvirOdhatvam AcaritavyaM|
I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
13 yataH prathamam AdamastataH paraM havAyAH sRSTi rbabhUva|
For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 kinjcAdam bhrAntiyuktO nAbhavat yOSidEva bhrAntiyuktA bhUtvAtyAcAriNI babhUva|
Also, Adam was not deceived; rather, the woman, being deceived, became a transgressor.
15 tathApi nArIgaNO yadi vizvAsE prEmni pavitratAyAM saMyatamanasi ca tiSThati tarhyapatyaprasavavartmanA paritrANaM prApsyati|
However, she will be saved through the Childbirth—if they continue in faith, love and holiness, with self-control.
