## Exhortation to Prayer
|
|
|
|
###### 1
|
|
First of all, then, I exhort that petitions _and_ prayers, requests _and_ thanksgivings, be made for all men,
|
|
|
|
###### 2
|
|
for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
|
|
|
|
###### 3
|
|
This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
|
|
|
|
###### 4
|
|
who desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth.
|
|
|
|
###### 5
|
|
For there is one God, _and_ one mediator also between God and men, _the_ man Christ Jesus,
|
|
|
|
###### 6
|
|
who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the witness for this proper time.
|
|
|
|
###### 7
|
|
For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
|
|
|
|
###### 8
|
|
Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.
|

## Instructions for Women
|
|
|
|
###### 9
|
|
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, fell into trespass.
|
|
|
|
###### 15
|
|
But she will be saved through the bearing of children, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with self-restraint.
