| 1 I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men: | |
| 2 For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity. | |
| 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, | |
| 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth. | |
| 5 For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus: | |
| 6 Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times. | |
| 7 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle, (I say the truth, I lie not,) a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth. | |
| 8 I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention. | |
| 9 In like manner women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire, | |
| 10 But as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works. | |
| 11 Let the woman learn in silence, with all subjection. | |
| 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence. | |
| 13 For Adam was first formed; then Eve. | |
| 14 And Adam was not seduced; but the woman being seduced, was in the transgression. | |
| 15 Yet she shall be saved through childbearing; if she continue in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety. | |
