Exhortation to Prayer

First of all, then, I exhort that petitions and prayers, requests and thanksgivings, be made for all men,

for kings and all who are in [fn]authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and [fn]dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the [fn]full knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the witness for [fn]this proper time. For this I was appointed a [fn]preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.

Instructions for Women

Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, with modesty and self-restraint, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women professing godliness. 11 A woman must learn in quietness, in all submission. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first formed, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, [fn]fell into trespass. 15 But she will be [fn]saved through the bearing of children, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with self-restraint.
