Pray for All People

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,

for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.

He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone.

For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

And I have been chosen as a preacher and apostle to teach the Gentiles this message about faith and truth. I’m not exaggerating — just telling the truth.

In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy.

likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire,

And I want women to be modest in their appearance.a They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.

but with what is proper for women who profess godliness — with good works.

For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.

Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness.

Women should learn quietly and submissively.

I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.

I do not let women teach men or have authority over them.b Let them listen quietly.

For Adam was formed first, then Eve;

For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve.

and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

And it was not Adam who was deceived by Satan. The woman was deceived, and sin was the result.

Yet she will be saved through childbearing — if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.

But women will be saved through childbearing,c assuming they continue to live in faith, love, holiness, and modesty.
