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. |
