1 I exhort, therefore, first of all, [that] there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] thanksgivings for all men, VP
2 for kings and all those being in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. VP
3 This [is] good and acceptable before God our Savior, VP
4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to [the] knowledge of [the] truth. VP
5 For [there is] one God and one mediator between God and men, [the] man Christ Jesus, VP
6 the [One] having given Himself [as] a ransom for all, the testimony in their own proper times, VP
7 in regard to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I speak [the] truth; I do not lie—a teacher of [the] Gentiles in faith and truth. VP
8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension. VP
9 Likewise also women in respectable apparel, with modesty and sound-mindedness, are to adorn themselves not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, VP
10 but with what is proper to women professing [the] fear of God through good works. VP
11 Let a woman learn in quietness, in all submission. VP
12 But I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to use authority over a man, but to be in quietness. VP
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. VP
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, has come into transgression. VP
15 But she will be saved through childbearing, if they remain in faith and love and holiness, with sound-mindedness. VP
