1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone— | C | TOSK | TT |
2 for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity. | C | TOSK |
3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, | C | TOSK |
4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. | C | TOSK |
5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, | IP¹ | IP² | IP³ | IP⁴ | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT¹ | LT |
6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time. | C | TOSK | TT |
7 For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything. | C | TOSK |
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension. | IP | C | TOSK |
9 Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, | C | TOSK |
10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God. | C | TOSK |
11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness. | C | TOSK |
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet. | C | TOSK |
13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve. | IP¹ | IP² | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression. | IP¹ | IP² | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
15 Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control. | IP | C | TOSK |
