| 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. | |
