| 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 Savior; |
| 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 between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; |
| 6 | Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. |
| 7 | For which 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 decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety; not with broidered 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 will be saved in child-bearing, if they continue in faith, and charity, and holiness, with sobriety. |
