1 Timothy, Chapter 2

¹ First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, ² for kings and all who are in^aauthority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and^bdignity. ³ This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, ⁴ who desires all men to be saved and to come to the^cknowledge of the truth. ⁵ For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, ⁶ who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony^dgiven at^ethe proper time. ⁷ For this I was appointed a^fpreacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as 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 wrath and dissension.

⁹ Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing,^gmodestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, ¹⁰ but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. ¹¹ A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. ¹² But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. ¹³ For it was Adam who was first^hcreated, and then Eve. ¹⁴ And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived,ⁱfell into transgression. ¹⁵ But women will be^jpreserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with^kself-restraint.
