¹ First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone,

² for kings and all those who are in authority, ⓐ so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness ⓑ and dignity. ⓒ

³ This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, ⓓ

⁴ who wants everyone ⓔ to be saved ⓕ and to come to the knowledge of the truth. ⓖ

⁵ For there is one God ⓗ and one mediator ⓘ between God and humanity, Christ Jesus, Himself human, ⓙ

⁶ who gave Himself — a ransom for all, ⓚ a testimony at the proper time.

⁷ For this I was appointed a herald, an apostle ⓛ (I am telling the truth; [1] I am not lying), and a teacher of the Gentiles ⓜ in faith and truth.

⁸ Therefore, I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument. ⓝ

⁹ Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing, ⓞ with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, ⓟ pearls, or expensive apparel,

¹⁰ but with good works, ⓠ as is proper for women who affirm that they worship God.

¹¹ A woman should learn in silence with full submission. ⓡ

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. ⓢ

¹⁴ And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed. ⓣ

¹⁵ But she will be saved through childbearing, if she continues [2] in faith, love, and holiness, ⓤ with good judgment.
