2 for kings and all that be set in highness, that we lead a quiet and a peaceable life, in all piety and chastity.
3 For this thing is good and accepted before God, our Saviour,
4 that will that all men be made safe, and that they come to the knowing of truth.
5 For one God and one mediator is of God and of men, a man Christ Jesus,
6 that gave himself redemption for all men. Whose witnessing is confirmed in his times;
7 in which I am set a preacher and an apostle. For I say truth [in Christ Jesus], and I lie not, that am a teacher of heathen men in faith and in truth.
8 Therefore I will, that men pray in all place, lifting up clean hands without wrath and strife [or disputing].
9 Also women in suitable habit, with shamefastness and soberness arraying themselves, not in wreathed hairs, either in gold, or pearls, or precious clothes;
10 but that that becometh women, promising piety by good works.
11 A woman learn in silence, with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, neither to have lordship on the husband [or on the man], but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, afterward Eve;
14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived, in breaking of the law [or prevarication].
15 But she shall be saved by generation of children, if she dwell perfectly in faith, and love, and holiness, with soberness.
