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.
