1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone--
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[pnt]
8 I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
9 I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
[jfb]
[pnt]
11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.
[jfb]
[pnt]
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
[pnt]
15 But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
[gsn]
[jfb]
