1First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone,
2for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.[#Ezr 6:10; Rm 13:1; 1Co 2:1; #2Pt 1:3; #1Tm 3:4; Ti 2:7]
3This is good, and it pleases God our Savior,[#1Tm 1:1]
4who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.[#Ti 2:11; #Ezk 18:23,32; Jn 3:17; 1Tm 4:10; Ti 2:11; 2Pt 3:9; #Jn 14:6,17]
5For there is one God[#Dt 6:4; Gl 3:20]
and one mediator between God and humanity,
Christ Jesus, Himself human,
6who gave Himself — a ransom for all,[#Mt 20:28; Gl 1:4]
a testimony at the proper time.
7For this I was appointed a herald, an apostle (I am telling the truth; I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.[#Eph 3:7-8; 1Tm 1:11; 2Tm 1:11; #Other mss add in Christ; #Ac 9:15]
8Therefore, I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.[#Mk 7:21; Lk 9:46-47; 24:38; Rm 14:1; Php 2:14]
9Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing, with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, pearls, or expensive apparel,[#1Pt 3:3; #Rv 3:18]
10but with good works, as is proper for women who affirm that they worship God.[#2Co 9:8; Gl 3:10]
11A woman should learn in silence with full submission.[#1Co 14:34; Ti 2:5]
12I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; instead, she is to be silent.
13For Adam was created first, then Eve.[#Gn 2:7,22; 3:16; 1Co 11:8-12]
14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed.[#Gn 3:6,13; 2Co 11:3]
15But she will be saved through childbearing, if she continues in faith, love, and holiness, with good judgment.[#Lit if they continue; #1Th 3:12–4:10]
