1First of all, then, I urge you to offer to God petitions, prayers, intercessions, and expressions of thanks for all people, 1First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone,
2for kings, and for everyone who has authority, so that we might lead a quiet and peaceful life with all godliness and dignity.2for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
3This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 3This is good, and it pleases God our Savior,
4who wants all people to be saved and to come to know the truth fully. 4who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5There is one God. There is also one mediator between God and human beings—a human, the Messiah Jesus. 5For there is one God and one mediator between God and humanity, Christ Jesus, Himself human,
6He gave himself as a ransom for everyone, the testimony at the proper time. 6who gave Himself--a ransom for all, a testimony at the proper time.
7For this reason I was appointed to be an announcer, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the gentiles. (I am telling you the truth. I am not lying.)7For this I was appointed a herald, an apostle (I am telling the truth; I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8Therefore, I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without being angry or argumentative. 8Therefore, I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.
9Women, for their part, should display their beauty by dressing modestly and decently in appropriate clothes, not with elaborate hairstyles or by wearing gold, pearls, or expensive clothes, 9Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing, with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, pearls, or expensive apparel,
10but through good actions. This is proper for women who claim to revere God.10but with good works, as is proper for women who affirm that they worship God.
11Let a woman learn with a quiet spirit, and submissively. 11A woman should learn in silence with full submission.
12Moreover, in the area of teaching, I am not allowing a woman to instigate conflict toward a man. Instead, she is to remain calm. 12I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; instead, she is to be silent.
13For Adam was formed first, then Eve, 13For Adam was created first, then Eve.
14and it was not Adam who was deceived. It was the woman who was deceived and became disobedient, 14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed.
15even though she will be saved through the birth of the Child, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, along with good judgment. 15But she will be saved through childbearing, if she continues in faith, love, and holiness, with good judgment.
