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, the man ⓚ Christ Jesus,

⁶ who gave himself as 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 profess to worship God.

¹¹ A woman is to learn quietly with full submission. ⓔ

¹² I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; instead, she is to remain quiet.

¹³ For Adam was formed 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 they continue in faith, love, and holiness, ⓗ with good sense.
