| # Chapter 2
| I exhort then, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men;
| including kings and all who are in high station, in order that we may live peaceful and tranquil lives with all godliness and gravity.
| This is right, and is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour,
| who is willing for all mankind to be saved and come to a full knowledge of the truth.
| For there is but one God and but one Mediator between God and men--Christ Jesus, Himself man;
| who gave Himself as the redemption price for all--a fact testified to at its own appointed time,
| and of which I have been appointed a herald and an Apostle (I am speaking the truth: it is not a fiction), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
| So then I would have the men everywhere pray, lifting to God holy hands which are unstained with anger or strife;
| and I would have the women dress becomingly, with modesty and self-control, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls or costly clothes,
| but--as befits women making a claim to godliness--with the ornament of good works.
| A woman should quietly learn from others with entire submissiveness.
| I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man, but she must remain silent.
| For Adam was formed first, and then Eve;
| and Adam was not deceived, but his wife was thoroughly deceived, and so became involved in transgression.
| Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint.

1st Timothy 3
