21I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men;+2for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.+3This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;+4who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.+5For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, [himself] man, Christ Jesus,+6who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony [to be borne] in its own times;+7whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle ( I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.+8I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.+
Instructions to Women
9In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;+10but ( which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.+11Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.+12But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.+13For Adam was first formed, then Eve;+14and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:+15but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.+
