 2:1  I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications,
prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all
men;
 2:2  For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we
may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and
honesty.
 2:3  For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our
Saviour;
 2:4  Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the
knowledge of the truth.
 2:5  For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and
men, the man Christ Jesus;
 2:6  Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due
time.
 2:7  Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I
speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not;) a teacher of the
Gentiles in faith and verity.
 2:8  I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up
holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
 2:9  In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in
modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with
broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
 2:10  But (which becometh women professing godliness) with
good works.
 2:11  Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
 2:12  But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp
authority over the man, but to be in silence.
 2:13  For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
 2:14  And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived
was in the transgression.
 2:15  Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if
they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
