1First<4413> of all<3956>, then<3767>, I urge<3870> that entreaties<1162> and prayers<4335>, petitions<1783> and thanksgivings<2169>, be made<4160> on behalf<5228> of all<3956> men<444>,
2for kings<935> and all<3956> who are in authority<5247>, so<2443> that we may lead<1236> a tranquil<2263> and quiet<2272> life<979> in all<3956> godliness<2150> and dignity<4587>.
3This<3778> is good<2570> and acceptable<587> in the sight<1799> of God<2316> our Savior<4990>,
4who<3739> desires<2309> all<3956> men<444> to be saved<4982> and to come<2064> to the knowledge<1922> of the truth<225>.
5For there is one<1520> God<2316>, and one<1520> mediator<3316> also<2532> between God<2316> and men<444>, the man<444> Christ<5547> Jesus<2424>,
6who gave<1325> Himself<1438> as a ransom<487> for all<3956>, the testimony<3142> given at the proper<2398> time<2540>.
7For this<3739> I was appointed<5087> a preacher<2783> and an apostle<652> (I am telling<3004> the truth<225>, I am not lying<5574>) as a teacher<1320> of the Gentiles<1484> in faith<4102> and truth<225>.
8Therefore<3767> I want<1014> the men<435> in every<3956> place<5117> to pray<4336>, lifting<1869> up holy<3741> hands<5495>, without<5565> wrath<3709> and dissension<1261>.
9Likewise<5615>, I want women<1135> to adorn<2885> themselves<1438> with proper<2887> clothing<2689>, modestly<127> and discreetly<4997>, not with braided<4117> hair<4117> and gold<5553> or<2228> pearls<3135> or<2228> costly<4185> garments<2441>,
10but rather<235> by means<1223> of good<18> works<2041>, as is proper<4241> for women<1135> making<1861> a claim<1861> to godliness<2317>.
11A woman<1135> must quietly<2271> receive<3129> instruction<3129> with entire<3956> submissiveness<5292>.
12But I do not allow<2010> a woman<1135> to teach<1321> or<3761> exercise<831> authority<831> over<831> a man<435>, but to remain<1510> quiet<2271>.
13For it was Adam<76> who was first<4413> created<4111>, and then<1534> Eve<2096>.
14And it was not Adam<76> who was deceived<538>, but the woman<1135> being deceived<1818>, fell<1096> into transgression<3847>.
15But women will be preserved<4982> through<1223> the bearing<5042> of children<5042> if<1437> they continue<3306> in faith<4102> and love<26> and sanctity<38> with self-restraint<4997>.
