[1] I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men:

[2] for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

[3] For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

[4] who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.

[5] For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Messiah Yeshua,

[6] who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony in its own times,

[7] to which I was appointed a proclaimer and an emissary—I am telling the truth in Messiah, not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

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

[9] In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,

[10] but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.

[11] Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.

[12] But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.

[13] For Adam was formed first, then Havah.

[14] Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;

[15] but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.
