1First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,
2for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.[#Ezra 6:10; #3:4]
3This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,[#5:4; #1:1]
4who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.[#4:10; Ezek. 18:23, 32; #2 Tim. 3:7; #2 Tim. 2:25; Titus 1:1; Heb. 10:26]
5For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,[#Gal. 3:20; #2:5 and render the same Greek word that is translated in verses 1 and 4]
6who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.[#Matt. 20:28; #1 Cor. 1:6; #6:15; Titus 1:3; Gal. 4:4]
7For 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.[#1:11; Eph. 3:7, 8; 2 Tim. 1:11; #Rom. 9:1; #Acts 9:15]
8I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;[#John 4:21; #Ps. 63:4; 119:48; Isa. 1:15; #Job 17:9; Ps. 24:4]
9likewise 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,[#1 Pet. 3:3; Isa. 3:18-23]
10but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.[#1 Pet. 3:4]
11Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness.[#Titus 2:5]
12I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.[#1 Cor. 14:34]
13For Adam was formed first, then Eve;[#Gen. 1:27; 2:8; #Gen. 2:18, 22]
14and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.[#Gen. 3:6, 13]
15Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.[#Gal. 4:4; #1:14]
