1 I exhort, therefore, first of all, that there be made–supplications, prayers, intercessions, thankgivings, in behalf of all men, 2 In behalf of kings, and all them who are, in eminent station; in order that, an undisturbed, and quiet life, we may lead, in all godliness and gravity: 3 This, is comely and acceptable before our Saviour God, 4 Who willeth, all men, to be saved, and, unto a personal knowledge of truth, to come; 5 For there is, one, God, one, mediator also, between God and men,–a man–Christ Jesus: 6 Who gave himself a ransom in behalf of all,–the testimony, in its own fit times: 7 Unto which, I, have been appointed proclaimer and apostle–Truth I speak, I utter no falsehood–a teacher of nations, in faith and truth. 8 I am minded, therefore, that–the men in every place be offering prayer, uplifting hands of lovingkindness, apart from anger and disputings;

9 In the same way, that, the women, in seemly attire, with modesty and sober-mindedness, be adorning themselves,–not with plaitings and ornamentation of gold, or with pearls, or with costly apparel,– 10 But, which becometh women promising godliness, through means of good works. 11 Let, a woman, in quietness, be learning in all submission; 12 But, teaching–unto a woman, I do not permit, nor yet to have authority over a man,–but to be in quietness; 13 For, Adam, first was formed, then Eve, 14 And, Adam, was not deceived, whereas, the woman, having been wholly deceived, hath come to be, in transgression; 15 She shall be saved, however, through means of the child-bearing,–if they abide in faith, and love, and holiness, with sobermindedness. Faithful, the saying.
