First prōton of all pas, then oun, I urge parakaleō you to make poieō requests deēsis, prayers proseuchē, petitions enteuxis, and expressions of thanksgiving eucharistia on behalf of hyper all pas people anthrōpos on behalf of hyper kings basileus and kai all pas who ho are eimi in en positions of authority hyperochē so that hina we might live out diagō our lives bios in tranquility ēremos and kai calmness hēsychios with en complete pas reverence eusebeia and kai godly dignity semnotēs. This houtos is good kalos and kai pleasing apodektos in the sight enōpion of ho God theos our hēmeis Savior sōtēr, who hos wishes thelō all pas people anthrōpos to be saved sōzō and kai to come erchomai into eis a knowledge epignōsis of the truth alētheia. For gar there is one heis God theos, and kai one heis mediator mesitēs between God theos and kai people anthrōpos; a person anthrōpos, Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous, who ho gave didōmi himself heautou as a ransom antilytron for hyper all pas, the ho witness martyrion at the proper idios time kairos. It is with reference to eis this hos witness that I egō was appointed tithēmi a herald kēryx and kai apostle apostolos I am speaking legō the truth alētheia; I am not ou lying pseudomai—a teacher didaskalos of the Gentiles ethnos in en faith pistis and kai truth alētheia.

I desire boulomai, then oun, that the ho men anēr should pray proseuchomai in en every pas place topos by lifting epairō up holy hosios hands cheir, without chōris anger orgē and kai arguing dialogismos. Likewise hōsautōs, I also kai desire that the women gynē should adorn kosmeō themselves heautou in en respectable kosmios attire katastolē, with meta modesty aidōs and kai moderation sōphrosynē, not with en braided hair plegma and kai gold chrysion or ē pearls margaritēs or ē costly polytelēs clothing himatismos, 10 but alla with what hos is appropriate prepō for women gynē who are committed epangellomai to godliness theosebeia, namely, with dia good agathos deeds ergon. 11 A woman gynē should learn manthanō in en quietness hēsychia, in en all pas submissiveness hypotagē; 12 but de I do epitrepō not ou permit epitrepō a woman gynē to teach didaskō or oude to exercise authority authenteō over a man anēr; rather alla, she is to be eimi in en quietness hēsychia. 13 For gar Adam Adam was created plassō first prōtos, then eita Eve heua. 14 And kai Adam Adam was not ou deceived apataō, but de the ho woman gynē, having been deceived exapataō, has come ginomai into en transgression parabasis; 15 but de she will be saved sōzō through dia · ho childbearing teknogonia, if ean they remain menō in en faith pistis and kai love agapē and kai holiness hagiasmos, with meta modesty sōphrosynē.

Instructions on Prayer

First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all those who are in authority,(A) so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness(B) and dignity.(C) This is good, and it pleases God our Savior,(D) who wants everyone(E) to be saved(F) and to come to the knowledge of the truth.(G)

For there is one God(H)
and one mediator(I) between God and humanity,
Christ Jesus, Himself human,(J)
who gave Himself—a ransom for all,(K)
a testimony at the proper time.

For this I was appointed a herald, an apostle(L) (I am telling the truth;[a] I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles(M) in faith and truth.

Instructions to Men and Women

Therefore, I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.(N) Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing,(O) with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold,(P) pearls, or expensive apparel, 10 but with good works,(Q) as is proper for women who affirm that they worship God. 11 A woman should learn in silence with full submission.(R) 12 I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; instead, she is to be silent. 13 For Adam was created first, then Eve.(S) 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed.(T) 15 But she will be saved through childbearing, if she continues[b] in faith, love, and holiness,(U) with good judgment.
