| 1. | I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made for all men; |
| 2. | for kings and all that are in dignity, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and gravity; |
| 3. | for this is good and acceptable before our Saviour God, |
| 4. | who desires that all men should be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. |
| 5. | For God is one, and the mediator of God and men one, the man Christ Jesus, |
| 6. | who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony to be rendered in its own 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. |
| 8. | I will therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up pious hands, without wrath or reasoning. |
| 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, |
| 10. | but, what becomes women making profession of the fear of God, by good works. |
| 11. | Let a woman learn in quietness in all subjection; |
| 12. | but I do not suffer a woman to teach nor to exercise authority over man, but to be in quietness; |
| 13. | for Adam was formed first, then Eve: |
| 14. | and Adam was not deceived; but the woman, having been deceived, was in transgression. |
| 15. | But she shall be preserved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with discretion. |
