^{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} My desire is, first of all, that you will make requests and prayers and give praise for all men;

^{2 Ref} For kings and all those in authority; so that we may have a calm and quiet life in all fear of God and serious behaviour.

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

^{4 Ref} Whose desire is that all men may have salvation and come to the knowledge of what is true.

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

^{6 Ref} Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;

^{7 Ref} And of this I became a preacher and an Apostle (what I say is true, not false,) and a teacher of the Gentiles in the true faith.

^{8 Ref} It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or argument.

^{9 Ref} And that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with twisted hair and gold or jewels or robes of great price;

^{10 Ref} But clothed with good works, as is right for women who are living in the fear of God.

^{11 Ref} Let a woman quietly take the place of a learner and be under authority.

^{12 Ref} In my opinion it is right for a woman not to be a teacher, or to have rule over a man, but to be quiet.

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

^{14 Ref} And Adam was not taken by deceit, but the woman, being tricked, became a wrongdoer.

^{15 Ref} But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.

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

^{2 Ref} For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

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

^{4 Ref} Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the 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 a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

^{7 Ref} 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 Ref} I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

^{9 Ref} 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 Ref} But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

^{11 Ref} Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

^{12 Ref} But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

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

^{14 Ref} And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

^{15 Ref} Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
