New Testament in a Year
2 He exhorteth them to make public prayers for all men, 4, 5 and that for two causes, 8 and therefore he willeth all men in all places to pray, 9 and declareth in what apparel, 11 and with what modesty, women ought to behave themselves in holy assemblies.
1 I [a]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, [b]that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life, in all godliness, and [c]honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.
4 [d]Who will that all men shall be saved, and come unto the acknowledging of the truth.
5 [e]For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and man, which is the [f]man Christ Jesus,
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all men, [g]to be that testimony in due time,
7 (A)Whereunto I am ordained a preacher and an Apostle (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not) even a teacher of the Gentiles in [h]faith and verity.
8 [i]I will therefore that the men pray, everywhere [j]lifting up pure hands without [k]wrath, or [l]doubting.
9 (B)[m]Likewise also the women, that they array themselves in comely apparel, with shamefastness and modesty, not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly apparel,
10 But (as becometh women that profess the fear of God) with good works.
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 (C)I permit not a woman to teach, [n]neither to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 [o]For (D)Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 (E)[p]And Adam was not [q]deceived, but the woman was deceived, and was in the transgression.
15 [r]Notwithstanding, through bearing of children she shall be saved, if they continue in faith, and love, and holiness with modesty.
