1I exhort therefore that above all things prayers, supplications, petitions, and giving of thanks, be had for all men: 2for kings, and for all that are in preeminence, that we may live a quiet and a peaceable life, in all godliness and honesty. 3For that is good and accepted in the sight of god our saviour, 4which would have all men saved, and come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, which is the man Christ Iesus, 6which gave himself a ransom for all men, that it should be preached at his time, 7whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle (I tell the truth in Christ and lie not) being the teacher of the gentiles in faith and verity.

8I woll therefore that the men pray every where, lifting up pure hands without wrath, or arguing.

9Likewise also the women that they array themselves in mannerly apparel with shamefastness, and honest behavior, not with broided hair, other gold, or pearls, or costly array: 10but with such as becometh women that profess the worshipping of God thorow good works. 11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12I suffer not a woman to teach, neither to have authority over the man: but for to be in silence. 13For Adam was first formed, and then Eve. 14Also Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived, and was in transgression. 15Notwithstanding they shall be saved thorow bearing of children, if they continue in the faith and in love, and in sanctifying.
