^{1 Ref} I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men;

^{2 Ref} for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.

^{3 Ref} This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

^{4 Ref} who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.

^{5 Ref} For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, `himself' man, Christ Jesus,

^{6 Ref} who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony `to be borne' in its own times;

^{7 Ref} 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.

^{8 Ref} I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.

^{9 Ref} 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;

^{10 Ref} but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.

^{11 Ref} Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

^{12 Ref} But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.

^{13 Ref} For Adam was first formed, then Eve;

^{14 Ref} and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:

^{15 Ref} but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.

^{1 Ref} I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:

^{2 Ref} for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,

^{3 Ref} for this `is' right and acceptable before God our Saviour,

^{4 Ref} who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;

^{5 Ref} for one `is' God, one also `is' mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,

^{6 Ref} who did give himself a ransom for all -- the testimony in its own times --

^{7 Ref} in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle -- truth I say in Christ, I do not lie -- a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.

^{8 Ref} I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;

^{9 Ref} in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,

^{10 Ref} but -- which becometh women professing godly piety -- through good works.

^{11 Ref} Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,

^{12 Ref} and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,

^{13 Ref} for Adam was first formed, then Eve,

^{14 Ref} and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,

^{15 Ref} and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.

^{1 Ref} I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men:

^{2 Ref} for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

^{3 Ref} For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;

^{4 Ref} who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.

^{5 Ref} For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

^{6 Ref} who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;

^{7 Ref} to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

^{8 Ref} I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting.

^{9 Ref} In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;

^{10 Ref} but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.

^{11 Ref} Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

^{12 Ref} But I don't permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.

^{13 Ref} For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

^{14 Ref} Adam wasn't deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;

^{15 Ref} but she will be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.
