| 1 ¶ I exhort1 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;2 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, to3 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 broided4 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.
