1 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. |
