Chapter 2
1 I exhort therefore , first of all , that petitions , prayers , intercessions , and givings of thanks be made for all men ,
2 for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior ,
4 who desires all people to be saved and come to full 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 as a ransom for all , the testimony at the proper time ,
7 to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle— I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying — a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 I desire therefore that the men in every place pray , lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting .
9 In the same way , that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing , with modesty and propriety, not with braided hair , gold , pearls , or expensive clothing ,
10 but with good works , which is appropriate for women professing godliness .
11 Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.
12 But I don’t permit a woman to teach , nor to exercise authority over a man , but to be in quietness .
13 For Adam was formed first , then Eve .
14 Adam wasn’ t deceived , but the woman , being deceived , has fallen into disobedience;
15 but she will be saved through her childbearing , if they continue in faith , love, and holiness with sobriety .
