I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; 

 for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity. 

 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 

 who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. 

 For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, [himself] man, Christ Jesus, 

 who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony [to be borne] in its own times; 

 whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 

 I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing. 

 In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment; 

 but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works. 

 Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection. 

 But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness. 

 For Adam was first formed, then Eve; 

 and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression: 

 but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
