1I exhort, therefore, first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men; 2For kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and respectability. 3For this is good and acceptable before God our Savior, 4Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men--the Man Christ Jesus, 6Who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony of which is to be preached in its appointed times. 7For this purpose I was ordained a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ--I do not lie), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

8Therefore, I desire that men everywhere pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and evil opinions.

9In like manner also, let the women adorn themselves with clothing that shows modesty and discretion, not with elaborate braidings of the hair, or with gold, or pearls, or expensive apparel; 10But with that which is fitting for women who profess to have reverence for God--with good works. 11Let a woman learn in quietness and be submissive in every respect. 12For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over man, but to be in quietness. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14And Adam was not deceived; but the woman came to be in transgression by being deceived. 15But she shall be saved through the childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with self-control.
