**1 **I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, *and* giving of thanks, be made for all men; **2 **For kings, and *for* all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. **3 **For this *is* good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; **4 **Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the 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 a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. **7 **Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, *and* lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

**8 **I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

**9 **In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; **10 **But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. **11 **Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. **12 **But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. **13 **For Adam was first formed, then Eve. **14 **And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. **15 **Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
