I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; |
2 |
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. |
3 |
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; |
4 |
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. |
5 |
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; |
6 |
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. |
7 |
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 |
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. |
9 |
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 |
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. |
11 |
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. |
12 |
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. |
13 |
For Adam was first formed, then Eve. |
14 |
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. |
15 |
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. |
