| 1 | I exhort therefore , that, first of all , supplications , prayers , intercessions , [and] giving of thanks , be made for all men ; |
| 2 | For kings , and [for] all that are in authority ; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty . |
| 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 unto the knowledge of the truth . |
| 5 | For [there is] one God , and one mediator between God and men , the man Christ Jesus ; |
| 6 | Who gave himself a ransom for all , to be testified in due time . |
| 7 | Whereunto I am ordained a preacher , and an apostle , (I speak the truth in Christ , [and] lie not ;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity . |
| 8 | I will therefore that men pray every where , lifting up holy hands , without wrath and doubting . |
| 9 | In like manner also , that women adorn themselves in modest apparel , with shamefacedness and sobriety ; not with broided hair , or gold , or pearls , or costly array ; |
| 10 | But (which 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 usurp authority over the man , but to be in silence . |
| 13 | For Adam was first formed , then Eve . |
| 14 | And Adam was not deceived , but the woman being deceived was in the transgression . |
| 15 | Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing , if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety . |
